lever and pump the fork up and down vigorously . Suspen-
sion action should be smooth, and there should be no
fluid leakage.

pension inspection, take your scooter to a KYMCO dealer

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. Per the maintenance schedule, you should per-
form the following side stand inspection.
Physical inspection
Check the spring for damage or loss of tension. Check the
metal stand itself to make sure it is not damaged or bent.
Check that the stand has free, smooth movement from the
UP to the DOWN position.
