of the scooter. Most of your stopping power comes from the front wheel.

prevent theft. Park on smooth hard surfaces, being sure to use the center
stand whenever possible.
Breaking in

Following this break-in procedure ensures that your scooter is
functioning properly and maximizes engine life.
z
Never drive this vehicle over 25 mph during the first 250 miles of
operation. Excessive speed could result in engine failure.

alcohol, which can damage rubber gaskets and engine seals.

Check and adjust the brakes, throttle cable, tire pressure, and fasteners
weekly before riding. This is in addition to the pre-ride checklist.

however leaving the ignition switch in the RUN position could
drain the battery.
