SECTION 6 – EXHAUST EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
Exhaust emission control system
maintenance
The exhaust emission control system does not require
extraordinary care to ensure its proper function.
Adhere to the following procedures to make sure the
system functions properly so your motorcycle will not
excessively pollute the environment.
1.
Make sure the air cleaner filter element is kept in good
condition (see page 36).
2.
The engine oil should be changed regularly to
promote proper engine efficiency and reduce
pollutants that accumulate in used engine oil. Change
the engine oil as specified in the maintenance
schedule on pages 30 - 31 of this manual.
3.
Use the proper type of gasoline. Your motorcycle’s
engine has been developed to use unleaded gasoline
(see page 15 for the fuel recommendations). Using the
improper type of fuel, such as a leaded fuel or fuel with
performance-enhancing additives will increase
exhaust pollutants and will reduce the efficiency of
your motorcycle’s engine.
Immediately repair or replace any fuel or emission
system component that will affect the efficiency and
emission of your motorcycle.
Never modify your motorcycle, as improper
modifications will affect the safety, the performance
and emission output of your motorcycle.
Be aware that only an authorized KYMCO dealer has
the tools, the expertise and the technical resources to
properly diagnose and repair the emission system
components on your motorcycle. Do not attempt to
effect repairs of this type yourself or you might
endanger the environment or your own safety.
