KYMCO Anti-Lock Brake System(ABS) Introduction
ABS is designed to help prevent the wheels from locking up when the brakes are applied hard while running straight. ABS automatically regulates brake force by intermittently applying and disenagaing braking force to help prevent wheel lock-up and allow for stable steering control while stopping.
Brake control function is identical to that of conventional vehicle. The brake lever is used for the front brake and rear brake.
Although the ABS provides stability while stopping by preventing wheel lock-up, remember the following characteristics:
ABS can not compensate for adverse road conditions, misjudgment or improper application of brakes. You must take the riding precautions as with scooter not equipped with ABS.
ABS is not designed to shorten the braking distance. On loose, uneven, or downhill surfaces, the stopping distance of a vehicle with ABS may be longer than that of an equivalent vehicle without ABS. Use special caution in such situations.
ABS will help prevent wheel lock-up when braking in straight line but it cannot control wheel slip which may caused by braking during cornering.
When turning a corner, it is better to limit braking to the light application of both brakes or not to brake at all. Reduce your speed before you get into the corner.
The ABS microprocessor (computer) compares the vehicle's speed with wheel speed. Since tires of a different size than those recommended by KYMCO can affect wheel speed, they may confuse the microprocessor, which can then extend the braking distance.

WARNING
Use of non-recommended tires may cause malfunctioning of ABS and lead to extended braking distance. The rider could have an accident as a result. Always use the recommended size tires for your scooter.
NOTE:
When ABS is functioning, you may feel a pulsation in the brake lever - this is normal. Continue to brake normally.
ABS does not function at road speeds of approximately 6 MPH (10km/h) or less.
ABS does not function if the battery voltage is very low, or there is a power supply interruption. The ABS indication light will come in such instances.

MAINTENANCE
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 color of the removed spark plug's porcelain tip. This color 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 be light brown or tan color.
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 KYMCO dealer when selecting an alternate spark plug).
Recommended spark plug:CR7E (NGK)
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 could result.

Spark plug gap: 0.024 - 0.028 in (0.6 - 0.7 mm)

MAINTENANCE
Coolant level inspection
The reserve tank is under left floorboard. Check the coolant level through the inspection window at the left side skirt white the engine is at the normal operating temperature, with the scooter In an upright position.
If the coolant level is below the LOWER level mark 3, remove the left floor mat, remove the lid screw 4, the reserve tank lid 5, and then the reserve tank cap 6 to add coolant 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.

MAINTENANCE
Coolant replacement
The coolant in your scooter should be replaced by a 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.
WARNING
Removing the radiator cap while the engine is hot can cause the coolant to spray out, seriously scalding 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 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 ratio 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 aluminum 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.
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 aluminum engine. Using coolant with silicate inhibitors may cause premature wear of water pump seals or blockage of radiator passages. Using tap water can cause engine damage.
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 KYMCO dealer to provide additional protection against freezing the engine. This higher concentration should not exceed 60% antifreeze-to-distilled water.
During warmer times, bring the antifreeze ratio back to the standard ratio. A concentration of less than 40:60 (40% antifreeze) will not provide proper corrosion protection.
MAINTENANCE
Side stand
Your scooter's 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 when the side stand is down. Perform the following side stand inspection.
Interlock function check:
Check the side stand ignition cut-off system:
- Place the scooter on its center stand.
- Put the side stand up and start the engine.
- 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 your KYMCO dealer for service.


MAINTENANCE
Brake fluid
Brake fluid level inspection
With the scooter in an upright position, check the front and rear fluid level.
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.

WARNING
Worn brake pads should be replaced immediately. If the pads are not worn, have your brake system inspected for leaks. Do not ride your scooter unless the brakes are in perfect working order.
Brake fluid type: DOT 4

MAINTENANCE
Brake lever adjusters
There is adjuster on each brake lever. Each adjuster has four positions so that the released lever position can be adjusted to suit the rider's 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 number with the arrow mark ③ on the lever holder.
NOTE: The distance from the grip to the released lever is at its closest at number 4 and the furthest away at number 1.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING
For appropriate brake action, make sure the groove of the adjusting nut is aligned with the pin in the brake arm.
Inspect the brake pad and shoe thickness to verify there is enough material for the brakes to function properly.
- If the wear indicator grooves in the front brake pads are no longer visible ③, it is an indication that the brake pads are worn and require replacement.
- If the wear indicator grooves in the rear brake pads are no longer visible 4, it is an indication that the brake pads are worn and require replacement.
WARNING
The brakes will wear quickly if the lever is continually applied during riding (dragging the brake). Consult your KYMCO dealer for braking system service.


MAINTENANCE
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 electrolyte (causing hard starting or other electrical troubles), contact your KYMCO dealer immediately.

CAUTION
Your battery is a maintenance-free type and can be permanently damaged if the cap strip is removed.

Fuse
When frequent fuse failures occur, it usually indicates a short circuit or an overload in the electrical system.
NOTE: See your 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 may result, causing a dangerous loss of lights or engine power.
Fuses list
30A... CHARGE fuse protects battery charging system.
15A...MAIN fuse protects all electrical circuits.

MAINTENANCE
Tires
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 Owner's Manual carefully.
Failure to perform a reasonable break-in of the tires could cause tire slip and loss of 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 100 miles (160 km).
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. Under-inflated 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): 29.0 PSI (2.0kgf / cm^2)
Rear tire (rider only): 32.0 PSI (2.25kgf/cm^2)
Front tire (rider & passenger):29.0 PSI (2.0kgf / cm^2)
Rear tire (rider & passenger): 32.0 PSI (2.25kgf / cm^2)
MAINTENANCE
Clean 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.
To avoid possible scratching or other damage, use only water and a soft cloth or sponge to clean the windshield.
For a dirtier windshield, use a diluted neutral detergent with a sponge and plenty of water. Make sure to wash off all the detergent. (Detergent residue may cause windshield cracks.)
