4.
Check for damage
(blisters or cuts) in the side wall, or
for significant flat spots
on the tires’ tread. Replace the
tire immediately if any damage of this type is present.
NOTE: When you replace a tire on your motorcycle, be
sure to replace it with a tire of the specified size. If you
use a different size of tire, the handling of your
motorcycle will be adversely affected, possibly
resulting in loss of control.
Tire size:
FRONT 2.50 - 17
REAR 2.75 - 17
NOTE: Be sure to balance the wheel after repairing or re-
placing a tire. Proper wheel balance is essential to main-
tain tire grip to the road and to avoid uneven tire wear.
The tires on your motorcycle must be replaced if they:
Leak air (even at a slow rate)
Have any damage on the tread or side wall areas
Have been damaged by intrusion of objects, such as a nail
Are worn as evidenced by the wear indicators
Failure to replace a tire in poor condition will cause an
unsafe riding condition on your scooter. Replace worn
or damaged tires immediately for your and your
passenger’s, safety.
Consult your KYMCO dealer for replacement tire
service.
