SECTION 3 - OPERATION
Breaking in the new tires
New tires need proper break-in to assure maximum
performance, just as your motorcycle's engine does. Wear
in the tread surface by gradually increasing your
cornering lean angles over the first 160 km before
attempting maximum lean angles. Avoid hard acceleration,
hard cornering, and hard braking for the first 160 km.
Troubleshooting
It can be frustrating if your motorcycle fails to start or
stops running while you are riding. In the rare instance this
hap- pens, take a few moments to check some items and
you may be back to riding your motorcycle soon.
Do you have enough gasoline in the fuel tank?
Did you follow the correct procedure for starting the
engine?
Is the side stand in the “UP” position?
Is the battery voltage low?
Is the main fuse in good condition?
NOTE: Use this Owner’s Manual to check components
and adjustments that are within your technical ability. If
you cannot resolve the problem, do not hesitate to
contact your KYMCO dealer for assistance.
The 1,000 km service should be performed as outlined
in the Maintenance Schedule section of this owner's
manual. Pay particular attention to the cautions and
warnings in the Maintenance Schedule section.
Unless you have formal training as a service
technician and have access to KYMCO technical
reference materials, it is strongly suggested that you
have the initial service performed by a KYMCO dealer.
Failure to break in your tires could cause the tires to slip
and could result in you losing control of the motorcycle.
Use extra care when riding on new tires. Perform proper
break-in of the tires as described in this Owner’s Manual, and
avoid hard acceleration, hard cornering, and hard braking
for the first 160 km.
