SECTION 3 - OPERATION
Pre-ride inspection
For your safety, it is very important to take a few moments
before each ride to walk around your motorcycle and check
its condition. If you detect any problem, be sure to address it
immediately, or have it corrected by your KYMCO dealer.
1.
Engine oil level: Add engine oil if required (page 32). Check
for leaks.
2.
Fuel level: Fill fuel tank when necessary (page 15). Check
for leaks.
3.
Front brakes: Check operation and make sure there is
no brake fluid leakage
(pages 39 and 40).
4.
Throttle: Check for smooth operation and that it closes
fully in all steering positions (page 37).
5.
Tires: Check condition and inflation
(pages 43 - 45).
6.
Lights and horn: Check that headlight, tail/brake light, turn
signals, indicators and horn function properly.
7.
Chassis: Check for overall proper function (page 46).
Improperly maintaining your motorcycle or failing to
correct a problem before riding can cause a crash in
which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always perform a pre-ride inspection before every
ride and correct any problems.
Performing pre-ride inspections does not take the
place of regular maintenance. Follow the maintenance
schedule recommendations on
pages 30-31
of this
manual.
After one month of use or 1,000 km of riding,
whichever occurs first, contact your KYMCO dealer to
have an initial service of your motorcycle performed.
This initial service is the most important service in the
life of your motorcycle and includes checks and
adjustments that will help ensure that your motorcycle
operates efficiently and safely.
