Pre-Ride Inspection - KYMCO 50 Owner's Manual

OPERATION
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 im-
mediately, or have it corrected by your KYMCO dealer.
Improperly maintaining your scooter or failing to cor-
rect 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.

for leaks.
2. Tires: Check condition and inflation pressure (pages 24 & 25).
3. Fuel level: Fill fuel tank when necessary (page 26). Check
for leaks.
4. Front and rear brakes: Check operation, making sure there
is proper free-play at the left lever, and that there is brake
fluid in the front brake fluid reservoir (pages 27 through

tions (page 30).
