KICK STARTER

Use the kick starter to start the scooter or prime the engine in the following situations:

-If the scooter has been driven less than 100 miles (160 kilometers).

-In cold or wet weather.

-If the fuel tank has run completely dry (and more fuel has been added).

-If the scooter has been stored for more than two weeks.

-If the scooter fails to start using the electric starter button.

-If the battery is discharged.

The kick starter can be used to “prime” the fuel system prior to using the electric start button. See “Starting the Scooter”, pages 8 and 9 for detailed instructions on using the kick starter.

CENTER STAND

Always use the center stand on level ground.

To extend the center stand and park the scooter, grasp the left handlebar grip and the luggage rack with your right hand. Place your right foot on the foot peg of the center stand and push straight down. The rear wheel will raise slightly as the scooter comes to rest on the center stand.

To retract the center stand, grasp both handlebar grips and push the scooter forward. NOTE: Be sure your feet and legs are clear of the center stand. The center stand has a strong spring and will retract under the scooter very quickly.

LUGGAGE RACK

WARNING

Maximum load for the luggage rack is 10 lbs. (4.5 kg). NEVER exceed maximum load capacity for the scooter. Combined weight of the rider, gear and any accessories must never exceed maximum load capacity of 225 lbs. (102 kg). Overloading can impair the stability and performance of the scooter, possibly causing an accident.

Evenly distribute the load on the luggage rack and secure with straps.

Do not attach anything to the handlebars, fenders or footrests.

VIN BADGE AND ACCESS PLATE

You will need your Vehicle Identification Number when registering your scooter with your local government or contacting your dealer. The VIN appears in two places: on the VIN badge, located on the back side of the front fairing, and under the VIN access plate.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

Your new scooter has an automatic transmission that does not require the use of a clutch or gear shift.
