PRI - Steering & handlebar inspection
Before riding, inspect your scooter's handlebars for damage,
and make sure the steering's side-to-side and up-and-down
movement is 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.
