Tire Break-In; Troubleshooting - KYMCO 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.
Breaking in the new tires
New tires need proper break-in to assure maximum perfor-
mance, just as your scooter's engine does. 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
braking for the first 100 miles (160 km).
Failure to break in your tires could 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).
