 ACCESSORIES & MODIFICATION

There is a large variety of accessories available to KYMCO

scooter owners. KYMCO cannot have direct control over the

quality or suitability of accessories you may wish to purchase.

The addition of unsuitable accessories to your scooter can

lead to unsafe operating conditions. It is not possible for

KYMCO to test each accessory on the market or combina-

tions of all the available accessories; however , your KYMCO

dealer can assist you in selecting quality accessories and then

install them correctly.

Use extreme caution when selecting and installing the ac-
cessories for your scooter.
No modifications

KYMCO strongly advises you against removing any original

equipment or modifying your scooter in any way that would

change its design or operation.

Improper accessories or modifications can make your

scooter unsafe and can lead to an accident.
Never modify your scooter through the improper installa-

tion or use of accessories. All parts and accessories added

to this vehicle should be genuine KYMCO or equivalent

components designed for use on this scooter and should

be installed and used according to instruction. If you have

any questions, consult an authorized KYMCO dealer.
