Tire Break-In; Troubleshooting - KYMCO PEOPLE 50 Owner's Manual

OPERATION
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 techni-
cian and have access to KYMCO technical reference
materials, it is strongly suggested that you have the
initial service performed by a KYMCO dealer.
Break-in recommendation for new tires:
Just as it is necessary for you to follow proper break-in proce-
dures to protect your engine and ensure its maximum life, the
same holds true for your new tires. Wear-in the tread surface
by gradually increasing your cornering lean angles over the
first 100 miles (160 km). before attempting maximum lean
angles. Avoid hard acceleration, hard cornering, and hard brak-
ing for the first 100 miles (160 km).
Failure to break in your tires may cause the tires to slip
and could result in your losing control of the scooter.
Use extra care when riding on new tires. Perform proper
break-in of the tires as described in this Owner's Manual,
and avoid hard acceleration, hard cornering, and hard
braking for the first 100 miles (160 km).
