SECTION 3 OPERATION

25

BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
Break-in recommendations
The first 600 miles (1,000 km) of riding are the most important in the life of your scooter. Proper break-in operation during this time will help ensure maximum life and performance from your new scooter. Proper break-in operation allows the machined surfaces to polish each other and mate smoothly. Your scooters reliability and performance depend on special care and restraint exercised during the break-in period. It is especially important that you avoid operating the engine in a manner which could expose the engine parts to excessive heat. The following guidelines should be followed during the break-in period: Maximum throttle operation: Initial 600km (300 miles): ............... Less than 1/2 throttle Up to 1000km (600 miles): ............ Less than 3/4 throttle Vary the engine speed: The engine speed should be varied and not held at a constant rate for long periods of time. This allows the parts to be "loaded" with pressure, and then unloaded, allowing the parts to cool. This aids in the mating process of the engine and transmission components. It is essential that some stress be placed on these components during break-in to ensure this mating process. Do not, however, apply excessive load on the scooter's drive line. Avoid constant low speed: Operating the engine at constant low speed (light load) can cause parts to glaze and not seat in properly. Allow the engine to accelerate freely through the gears, without exceeding the recommended throttle openings. Avoid using full throttle for the first 500 km (300 miles). The initial service: Observe your first and most critical service. The 300km (200 mile) initial service is the most important service your scooter will receive. During the break-in period all of the engine components will have worn in and all of the other parts will have seated in, so adjustments will be required. All fasteners will be tightened, and the contaminated engine oil will be replaced. NOTE: Completion of the 300km (200 mile) initial service will ensure optimum service life and performance from your scooter. Do not delay in having this service performed once your scooter reaches this mileage.

CAUTION
The 200 mile (300 km) service should be performed as outlined in the maintenance schedule section of this owner's manual. Pay particular attention to the cautions and warnings in the maintenance schedule section. Unless you have formal training as a service technician and have access to KYMCO technical reference materials, it is strongly suggested that you have the initial service performed by a KYMCO dealer. 26

TIRE BREAK-IN & TROUBLESHOOTING

Breaking in the new tires
New tires need proper break-in to assure maximum performance, just as your scooter's engine does. Wear in the tread surface by gradually increasing your cornering lean angles over the first 160km (100 miles) before attempting maximum lean angles. Avoid hard acceleration, hard cornering, and hard braking for the first 160km (100 miles).

Troubleshooting
It can be frustrating if your scooter fails to start or stops running while you are riding. In the rare instance this happens, take a few moments to check some items and you may be back to riding your scooter soon. Do you have enough gasoline in the fuel tank? Did you follow the correct procedure for starting the engine? Is the battery voltage low (you may need to kick start your scooter)? Is the main fuse in good condition?

WARNING
Failure to break in your tires could cause the tires to slip and could result in you losing control of the scooter. Use extra care when riding on new tires. Perform proper break-in of the tires as described in this Owners Manual and avoid hard acceleration, hard cornering, and hard braking for the first 160km (100 miles).

NOTE: Use this Owners Manual to check components and adjustments that are within your technical ability. If you cannot resolve the problem, do not hesitate to contact your local authorized KYMCO dealer for assistance.

27

PRE-RIDE INSPECTION (PRI)

Pre-ride inspection (PRI)
For your safety, it is very important to take a few moments before each ride to walk around your scooter 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 18). Check for leaks. 2. Fuel level: Fill fuel tank when necessary (page 22). Check for leaks. 3. Front and rear brakes: Check operation; make sure there is no brake fluid leakage (page 45). 4. Tires: Check condition and inflation pressure (page 48). 5. Throttle: Check for smooth operation and that it closes completely in all steering positions (page 40). 6. Lights and horn: Check that the headlight, tail / brake light, turn signals, indicators, and horn function properly. 7. Steering: Check for condition and smoothness.

WARNING
Improperly maintaining your scooter 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.

CAUTION
Performing pre-ride inspections does not take the place of regular maintenance. Follow the maintenance schedule recommendations on pages 35-36 of this manual. After one month of use or 300kms (200 miles) of riding, which ever occurs first, contact your local authorized KYMCO dealer to have an initial service of your scooter performed. This initial service is the most important service in the life of your scooter, and includes checks and adjustments that will help ensure that your scooter operates efficiently and safely.

28

STARTING THE ENGINE

STARTING THE ENGINE
Always follow the proper starting procedure described here and on the following pages. 1. Place your scooter on its centre stand and put the side stand up. 2. Insert the ignition key and rotate the ignition switch to the 3. Squeeze the left (rear) brake lever. ON position.

NOTE: The electric starter will only work when the left (rear) or front (right) brake lever is squeezed. 4. With the throttle closed, press the starter button (1). Release the starter button as soon as the engine starts. 5. Keep the throttle closed while warming up the engine. 6. Let the engine warm up before riding.

CAUTION
To protect the catalytic converter in your scooters exhaust system, avoid idling for extended periods of time and do not use leaded gasoline. To prevent damage to the starter motor, do not operate the starter motor for more than five seconds at a time. If the scooter fails to start immediately, check the fuel level and battery condition, and allow the starter motor to cool before attempting to start the engine again. Operating your scooters engine with insufficient oil pressure can cause serious engine damage.

29

RIDING YOUR SCOOTER

Riding your scooter
NOTE: After starting, allow the engine oil to circulate before riding your scooter. Allow sufficient idling time after warm or cold engine start-up before applying load or revving the engine. This allows time for the lubricating oil to reach all the critical engine components. NOTE: Review the scooter safety recommendations on pages 2-4 before you ride. 1. Make sure the throttle is closed and the rear brake is engaged before moving the scooter off the main stand. 2. Mount the scooter from the left side and sit on the seat upright. Place both hands on the handlebars and touch the ground with your left foot for stability. 3. Release the rear brake and slowly rotate the throttle grip so the engine power will be transmitted to the rear wheel smoothly. 4. Control the scooters speed with the throttle grip. Rotating the grip towards you will increase the scooters speed. Rotating the grip away from you will decrease the scooters speed. NOTE: Decreasing the scooters speed with a balanced application of both brake levers and a reduction of throttle will reduce the distance required to stop. 5. Limit the maximum speed of your scooter during the first 1,000 km (600 miles) of operation. 6. Use both brake levers when slowing and stopping the scooter. Release the throttle when braking. NOTE: Decreasing the scooters speed with a balanced application of both brake levers and a reduction of throttle will reduce the distance required to stop. Squeeze the levers lightly at first and then increase the pressure when stopping.

WARNING
Use the scooters turn signals to signal your intention to merge into traffic. Always scan around you and in the rear view mirrors so you are aware of other traffic. Use caution as you merge into traffic, keeping to the right until you match the pace of the traffic.

CAUTION
In hot weather, the engine can overheat if it idles for a long period of time. Very slow speed traffic may also cause the scooter to overheat. To promote engine longevity, permit the engine to cool in these situations. Avoid sudden acceleration and prolonged high speed use that can accelerate engine wear. Moderate use will prolong the engine life of the scooter.

30

RIDING YOUR SCOOTER

7. When riding and turning the scooter, use smooth movements. NOTE: At certain speeds your scooter will turn more effectively by leaning your body, rather than by applying pressure on the handlebars. Practice steering in an open area that is free of traffic until you are familiar with the handling characteristics of your scooter. 8. As you approach a turn, or plan to stop, use the turn signals well in advance to alert other traffic of your intentions. Scan for other vehicles around you and slowly move to the right side of the road. Close the throttle and apply the brakes smoothly, as the scooters brake light will alert vehicles behind you that you are braking. 9. When you stop the scooter, press the center of the turn signal indicator switch to cancel the signal flashing. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position to stop the engine and turn off the scooters electrical system.

WARNING
Avoid using just one brake to stop the scooter, as this will affect the tires grip. Avoid sudden braking, as this will also affect the tires grip and can cause an accident.

WARNING
Reduce your speed when riding on uneven or loose road surfaces. When riding downhill, decrease the throttle opening and use intermittent braking to control the vehicles speed. Failure to take appropriate precautions may result in an accident.

WARNING
Reduce your speed when riding your scooter in the rain. Wet road surfaces reduce tire grip and greatly increases the distance required for safe braking. Wet surfaces also reduces tire grip during cornering. Reduced tire grip will make it more difficult to control your scooter and may result in an accident.

WARNING
Never operate the ignition switch while riding your scooter. If the ignition switch is turned during riding it could turn off the engine and lights, possibly causing you to lose control of the scooter. With the lights off, your scooter may not be visible to other traffic, and this could cause a traffic accident. Only operate the ignition switch when the scooter is not moving.

31

PARKING YOUR SCOOTER

Parking your scooter
Use the following procedure and suggestions when parking your scooter. 1. Place the scooter on level ground. 2. Stand on the left side of the scooter and grasp the handlebar with your left hand while grasping the side of the rear rack with your right hand. Step down on the foot pad of the main stand with your foot while pulling up and back on the rear rack. This lifting motion will allow the scooter to rock backwards and up onto the main stand.

CAUTION
The scooter may fall over if it is not parked on level ground. Make sure flammable materials such as dry grass or leaves do not come in contact with the exhaust system when parking your scooter. Lock the handlebars of your scooter (see page 9) to reduce the risk of theft.

WARNING
Do not park your scooter in a place that hinders traffic, or that is unsafe to you or others.

SECTION 4 - MAINTENANCE

33

THE IMPORTANCE OF MAINTENANCE

The importance of maintenance
Maintaining your scooter properly is essential for safe, economical and trouble-free riding. It will also help reduce air pollution and maximize fuel economy. To help you properly care for your scooter, the following pages in this Owner's Manual include a maintenance schedule to help you make sure your scooter is serviced at the appropriate intervals. These instructions are based on the assumption that your scooter will be used exclusively for its designed purpose. Sustained high speed operation, or operation in unusually wet or dusty conditions, will require more frequent service than specified in the maintenance schedule. Consult your local authorized KYMCO dealer for recommendations applicable to your individual needs and use. NOTE: Always follow the inspection and maintenance recommendations and schedules in this Owner's Manual.

WARNING
If your scooter tips over or becomes involved in a crash, be sure your local authorized KYMCO dealer inspects all major parts, even if you are able to make some repairs. Improperly maintaining this scooter or failing to correct a problem before you ride could result in a crash in which you could be seriously hurt or killed. When performing maintenance on your scooter, you may need to start the engine. Running your scooter's engine indoors or in a garage can be hazardous. Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, a colorless and odourless gas that can cause death or severe injury. Operate the engine only where there is adequate ventilation, preferably outdoors.

34

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Maintenance schedule
Perform the pre-ride inspection (see page 28) at each scheduled maintenance period. This interval should be judged by odometer reading or months, whichever comes first. Maintenance schedule legend (see page 36): I: INSPECT AND CLEAN, ADJUST, LUBRICATE OR REPLACE IF NECESSARY C: CLEAN R: REPLACE A: ADJUST L: LUBRICATE T: TIGHTEN The maintenance schedule on page 36 specifies the maintenance required to keep your Super 8 scooter in peak operating condition. Maintenance work should be performed in accordance with KYMCO standards and specifications by properly trained and equipped technicians. Your local authorized KYMCO dealer meets all of these requirements. * Should be serviced by your local authorized KYMCO dealer, unless you have the proper tools, service data and are technically qualified. * * In the interest of safety, we recommend these items be serviced only by your local authorized KYMCO dealer.

SPARK PLUG & BRAKE FLUID INSPECTION

Spark plug
Remove the carbon deposits from the spark plug with a small wire brush or a spark plug cleaning machine. After cleaning (or when installing a new spark plug) readjust the spark plug gap to specified limit by using a spark plug gap thickness gauge. The spark plug should be replaced periodically. Whenever removing the carbon deposits, be sure to observe the colour of the removed spark plugs porcelain tip. This colour tells you whether or not the standard spark plug is suitable for your type of riding. Under normal usage, a spark plug's porcelain tip should appear light brown or tan in colour. If the spark plug porcelain tip is very white or glazed appearing, then the spark plug has been operating too hot. In such a situation, you should replace the standard spark plug with a spark plug that has a colder heat range (usually a higher number; consult with your local authorized KYMCO dealer when selecting an alternate spark plug). Recommended spark plug Spark plug type: Spark plug gap: CR7E (NGK) 0.024 - 0.028 in (0.6 - 0.7 mm)

CAUTION
An improper spark plug may have an incorrect fit or heat range for your engine. This may cause severe engine damage which will not be covered under warranty. Never use a spark plug with an improper heat range, as severe engine damage may result.

41

COOLANT LEVEL INSPECTIONS & REPLACEMENT

Coolant Level Inspection
The reserve tank is under the left floorboard. Check the coolant level through the inspection window (1) at the left side skirt while the engine is at normal operating temperature and the scooter in an upright, level position. If the coolant level is below the LOWER level mark (3), remove the floor mat, remove the lid screw (4), the reserve tank lid (5), and then the reserve tank cap (6) to add coolant to the mixture until it reaches the upper level mark (2).

WARNING
Add coolant to the reserve tank only. Do not attempt to add coolant by removing the radiator cap. Coolant in the radiator is under pressure and is very hot and can cause serious burns.

42

COOLANT LEVEL INSPECTIONS & REPLACEMENT

Coolant Replacement
The coolant in your scooter should be replaced by your local authorized KYMCO dealer, unless you have the proper tools, access to service data, and are technically qualified. NOTE: Always add coolant to the reserve tank. Do not attempt to add coolant by removing the radiator cap.

CAUTION
Use only low-mineral drinking water or distilled water as a part of the antifreeze solution. Water that is high in mineral content or salt may be harmful to the aluminium engine. Using coolant with silicate inhibitors may cause premature wear of water pump seals or blockage of radiator passages. If you are using your scooter in an environment where it will encounter freezing temperatures, you should have a higher concentration of antifreeze installed by your local authorized KYMCO dealer to provide additional protection against freezing the engine. This higher concentration should not exceed 60% antifreeze-to-distilled water. During warmer temperatures, bring the antifreeze ratio back to the standard ratio. A concentration of less than 40:60 (40% antifreeze) will not provide proper corrosion protection.

WARNING
Removing the radiator cap while the engine is hot can cause the coolant to spray out, seriously burning you. Always let the engine and radiator cool down before removing the radiator cap.

Coolant Recommendation
It is your responsibility to have your scooter serviced so that it has the proper type and amount of coolant in the cooling system and engine. The coolant must be in good condition and have the proper ration of antifreeze and distilled water to prevent freezing, overheating, and corrosion. When servicing the coolant, you should arrange to use only high quality ethylene glycol antifreeze that contains corrosion protection inhibitors specifically formulated for use in aluminium engines (see the antifreeze container label). A 50:50 solution of antifreeze and distilled water is required for the cooling system of your scooter. This coolant solution is recommended for most operating temperatures and provides good corrosion protection.

43

SIDE STAND
Side Stand
Your scooters side stand is not only necessary when you park, but it contains an important safety feature. This feature cuts off the ignition if you try to ride the scooter while the stand is down. Perform the following side stand inspection. Interlock Function Check: Check the side stand ignition cut off system: 1. Place the scooter on its centre stand. 2. Put the side stand up and start the engine. 3. Lower the side stand. The engine should stop as you put the side stand down. NOTE: If the side stand system does not operate as described, see you local authorized KYMCO dealer for service.

44

BRAKE FLUID
Brake Fluid Inspection Level
With the scooter in an upright position, check the front and rear fluid levels. The level should be above the lower level mark. If the level is at or below the lower level mark L, check the brake pads for wear. NOTE: Other checks make sure there are no fluid leaks. Check for deterioration or cracks in the hoses and fittings. BRAKE FLUID TYPE: DOT 4

WARNING
Worn brake pads should be replaced immediately. If the brake pads are worn, have your brake system inspected for leaks. Do not ride your scooter unless the brakes are in perfect working order.

45

BRAKE LEVER ADJUSTERS

Brake Lever Adjusters
There is an adjuster on each brake lever. Each adjuster has four positions so that the released lever position can be adjusted to suit the riders hands. To adjust the distance of the lever from the handlebar grip, push the lever (1) forward and turn the adjuster knob (2) to align the numbers with the arrow mark (3) on the lever holder. NOTE: The distance from the grip to the release lever is at its closest at number 4 and furthest away at number 1. Inspect the brake pad and shoe thickness to verify that there is enough material for the brakes to function properly 1. If the wear indicator grooves in the front brake pads(3) or rear brake pads (4) are no longer visible, it is an indication that the brake pads are worn and require replacement.

WARNING
The brake pads will wear quickly if the lever is continually applied during riding (dragging the brake). Consult your local authorized KYMCO dealer for braking system service.

WARNING
For appropriate brake action, make sure the groove of the adjusting nut is aligned with the pin in the brake arm. 46

BATTERY & FUSE

Battery
Your KYMCO scooter is equipped with a maintenance-free (sealed) 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 electrolyte (causing hard starting or other electrical troubles), contact your local authorized KYMCO dealer immediately .

Fuse
When frequent fuse failures occur, it usually indicates a short circuit or an overload in the electrical system. NOTE: See your local authorized KYMCO dealer for electrical system diagnosis and repair.

WARNING
Never use a fuse with a different rating from that specified. Serious damage to the electrical system or a fire hazard may result, causing a dangerous loss of lights or engine power.

CAUTION
Your battery is a maintenance-free type and can be permanently damaged if the cap strip is removed. Charge the battery with a charger specifically designed for use with a maintenance-free type battery. Using another type of charger can damage the battery.

TIRES & TIRE PRESSURE

WARNING
Failure to follow these warnings may result in an accident due to tire failure. The tires on your scooter are a crucial link between your scooter and the road. You and your passenger's personal safety are dependant upon the condition of your scooter's tires. Follow these instructions: Check tire condition and pressure, and adjust the inflation pressure before each ride. Avoid overloading your scooter. Replace a tire when worn to the specified limit, or if you find any damage such as cuts or cracks. Always use the proper size and type of tires as specified in this Owner's Manual. Balance the wheel after tire installation. Read this section of the Owner's Manual carefully. Failure to perform a reasonable break-in of the tires could cause the tires to slip and lose control. Use extra care when riding on new tires, as the grip will be limited. Perform proper break-in of the tires, as stated in the break-in recommendation section of this manual. Avoid hard acceleration, hard cornering, and hard braking for the first 160 kms (100 miles). NOTE: Check the tire inflation pressure and tire tread condition at the periods listed in the periodic maintenance schedule. For maximum safety and good tire life, the tire pressures should be inspected more often.

Tire pressure
Insufficient air pressure in the tires not only accelerates tire wear, but it also affects the stability of your scooter. Underinflated tires make smooth cornering difficult, and overinflated tires decrease the amount of tire in contact with the ground, which can lead to skids and loss of control. Make sure that the tire pressures on your scooter are within the specified limits at all times. NOTE: Tire pressure should only be adjusted when the tires are cold. FRONT TIRE (rider only) REAR TIRE (rider only) FRONT TIRE (rider & passenger) REAR TIRE (rider & passenger) 29.0 PSI (2.0 kg/cm2) 32.0 PSI (2.25 kg/cm2) 29.0 PSI (2.0 kg/cm2) 32.0 PSI ( 2.25 kg/cm2)

CLEANING YOUR SCOOTER

Cleaning
Clean your scooter regularly to protect the surface finishes and inspect for damage, wear, and oil, coolant or brake fluid leakage. Avoid cleaning products that are not specifically designed for scooter, motorcycle, or automobile surfaces. Nonspecific cleaners may contain harsh detergents or chemical solvents that could damage the metal, paint, and plastic on your scooter. NOTE: If your scooter is still warm from recent operation, give the engine and exhaust system time to cool off before washing. Avoid the use of high pressure water spray (typical in coin-operated car washes), as the powerful spray can damage components on your scooter.

Washing your scooter

1. Rinse the scooter thoroughly with cool water to remove any loose dirt. 2. Clean the scooter with a sponge or soft cloth using cool water. Avoid directing water at muffler outlets and electrical parts. 3. Clean the plastic parts using a cloth or sponge dampened with a solution of mild detergent and water. Rub the soiled area gently, rinsing it frequently with fresh water. Take care to keep brake fluid or other chemical solvents away from the scooter, as they will damage the plastic and painted surfaces. 4. After cleaning, rinse the scooter thoroughly with plenty of clean water. This rinsing is required to remove detergent residue which can corrode alloy parts. 5. Dry the scooter and then start the engine, allowing it to run for several minutes. 6. Test the brakes before riding the scooter. Several applications of the brakes may be necessary to restore normal braking performance. NOTE: The inside of the headlight lens may become clouded immediately after washing the scooter. Moisture condensation inside the headlight lens will disappear gradually as it is heated by the headlight. After washing, run the engine while keeping the headlight on to dissipate any condensation. NOTE: Due to water on the brake components, braking efficiency may be temporarily impaired immediately after washing the scooter. Anticipate longer stopping distances to avoid a possible accident.

CLEANING YOUR SCOOTER

Cleaning the Windshield
Using plenty of water, clean the windshield with a soft cloth or sponge (avoid using detergents or any kind of chemical cleaner on the windshield). Dry with a soft, clean cloth. For a dirtier windshield, use a diluted, neutral detergent with a sponge and plenty of water. Make sure to wash off all of the detergent (detergent residue may cause windshield cracks). Replace the windshield if scratches cannot be removed and they obstruct clear vision. Do not let battery electrolyte, brake fluid or other acid chemicals get on the windshield and screen garnish. They will damage the plastic.

CAUTION
Do not wipe with organic solvent (ex. gas thinner, etc). Use neutral soap to clean windshield.

Finishing touches:
After washing your scooter, consider using a commercially available spray cleaner/polish or a quality liquid or paste wax to enhance and protect the paint's finish. Use only a nonabrasive polish or wax made specifically for scooters, motorcycles, or automobiles. Apply the polish or wax according to the instructions on the container. Removing road salt The salt used in some communities to prevent road icing can become very corrosive to your scooter. Wash your scooter as soon as possible if it comes in contact with road salt (or sea water). 1. Clean the scooter using cool water (see page 49). Do not use warm water, as this will increase the corrosive effect of the salt. 2. Dry the scooter and protect painted and metal surfaces with wax or polish. Painted aluminum wheel maintenance Even if protected by paint, aluminum may corrode from contact with dirt, mud, or road salt. Clean the scooter's wheels with a wet sponge and mild detergent. Avoid stiff brushes, steel wool, or cleaners containing abrasives or chemical compounds. After washing, rinse with plenty of water and dry with a clean cloth . Apply touch-up paint to the wheels where damage has occurred. Exhaust pipe maintenance The exhaust system is stainless steel, but it can become stained by oil or mud. If necessary, remove heat stains with a liquid kitchen-counter 50
