Steering & Handlebar Inspection - KYMCO PEOPLE 50 Owner's Manual

OPERATION
As the brake pads wear, the brake fluid level drops as
the hydraulic system automatically compensates for the
wear. The brake fluid level must be inspected at the
same time you inspect the brake pads for wear.
If the wear indicator grooves in the front brake pads
are no longer visible, it is an indication that the brake
pads are worn and require replacement. Consult your
KYMCO dealer for any brake-related service.
Prolonged and repetitive use of the vehicle's hydraulic
brakes for high speed stops will cause overheating of
the brake fluid, premature brake pad wear, and can cause
unexpected loss of braking ability.
PRI - Steering & handlebar inspection
Before riding, inspect your scooter's handlebars for damage
to make sure the steering's side-to-side and up-and-down
movements are smooth.
1. Apply the front brake (right lever) and press down and release
pressure on the handlebar, listening for any abnormal noise.
2. As you press down and release, also feel for any loose-
ness from the chassis transmitted to the handlebar.
3. Turn the handlebar from the center fully to the left and then
fully to the right, feeling for any loose components and lis-
tening for any abnormal sounds.
If the steering does not move smoothly or feels ob-
structed, do not ride your scooter. See your KYMCO
dealer immediately for repairs or adjustment.
