SECTION 3 -
OPERATION
Pre-ride inspection
For your safety, it is very important to take a few moments
before each ride to walk around your motorcycle 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 motorcycle or failing to
correct 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.
To prolong the service life of your motorcycle, be sure to
have a an initial service performed on your motorcycle
after it has been ridden for 300 miles (500km).
