Importance of Maintenance
Keeping your scooter well-maintained is

protect your investment, obtain maximum
performance, avoid breakdowns, and reduce air
pollution. Maintenance is the owner's
responsibility. Be sure to inspect your scooter
before each ride, and perform the periodic
checks specified in the Maintenance Schedule.

Maintenance Safety
Always read the maintenance instructions before you
begin each task, and make sure that you have the
tools, parts, and skills required.
We cannot warn you of every conceivable hazard
that can arise in performing maintenance. Only you
can decide whether or not you should perform a
given task.
Follow these guidelines when performing
maintenance.
Stop the engine and turn the ignition switch to
●
the (Off) position.
Place your scooter on a firm, level surface using
●
the side stand, centre stand or a maintenance
stand to provide support.
Allow the engine, muffler, brakes, and other
●
high-temperature parts to cool before servicing
as you can get burned.
Run the engine only when instructed, and do so
●
in a well-ventilated area.
