Parking brake inspection
Xciting 500i and 500Ri models
Periodically inspect the parking brake function. Counting the
number of notches that the parking brake's ratchet mecha-
nism engages will help you determine if the parking brake re-
quires service.
1. Stop the engine and put the scooter on its center stand on
level ground.
2. Pull the parking brake lever slowly and count the number
of notches until the lever meets full resistance (the park-
ing brake is engaged).
Standard lever stroke: 3 to 6 notches
NOTE: If adjustment is necessary, have the brake adjusted
by your KYMCO dealer.
Battery
Your KYMCO scooter 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.
NOTE: If your battery seems weak and/or is leaking elec-
trolyte (causing hard starting or other electrical troubles),
contact your KYMCO dealer immediately .
Your battery is a maintenance-free type and can be per-
manently damaged if the cap strip is removed.
Your scooter'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.
