MAINTENANCE
Battery
Your KYMCO motorcycle is equipped with a maintenance-free
(sealed) type battery, so it is not necessary to check the
battery's electrolyte level or add distilled water.
Brake fluid can damage plastic items, and painted and
polished surfaces on your motorcycle. When servicing
the brake fluid, use towels to cover and protect compo-
nents on your motorcycle.
Your motorcycle’s battery gives off explosive hydrogen
gas during normal operation. A spark or flame can cause
the battery to explode with enough force to kill or seri-
ously hurt you. Wear protective clothing and a face
shield, or have a qualified technician perform the bat-
tery maintenance.
Worn brake pads should be replaced immediately. If the
pads are not worn, have your brake system inspected
for leaks. Do not ride your motorcycle unless the brakes
are in perfect working order.
Do not mix brake fluids of different brands or ratings.
This may cause brake failure and is very dangerous.
NOTE: Other brake system checks: Make sure there are no
fluid leaks. Check for deterioration or cracks in the hoses
and fittings. Contact your KYMCO dealer for any brake-
related service needs.
Your battery is a maintenance-free type battery and can
be permanently damaged if the cap strip is removed.
NOTE: If your battery seems weak and/or is leaking elec-
trolyte (causing hard starting or other electrical troubles),
contact your KYMCO dealer immediately.
NOTE: If your motorcycle is not going to be ridden for
long period of time, the battery may discharge electricity
by itself. Disconnect the battery’s negative terminal and
charge the battery periodically during storage.
NOTE: Always use a battery charger specifically designed
for use on a maintenance-free type battery.
