3. BEFORE RIDING
This manual describes the correct usage of this scooter including safety riding, simple inspection methods
and so on.
For a more comfortable and safety riding, please read this manual carefully.

For your benefit, please ask your SYM dealer the operating manual and carefully read the following:
 Correct use of the motorcycle.
 Pre-delivery inspection and maintenance.

Thank you very much for your patronage

In order to maximize your motorcycle’s performance, a periodical inspection and maintenance
should be completely carried out.
We recommend that after riding your new motorcycle for the first 300 Kilometers, you should take
your motorcycle to the original dealer for an initial inspection, and to have your motorcycle inspected
periodically every 1,000 kilometers there after.

 In case the scooter’s specifications and construction are modified and different from the photos and
diagrams on the owner’s manual / catalogues, the specifications and construction of the actual
scooter shall prevail.

4. SAFE RIDING
It is very important to be relax and clothe properly when driving, observe traffic regulations, do not rush,
always drive carefully and relaxed.
Usually, most people would ride their newly bought scooter very carefully, but after they became familiar
with their scooters, they tended to become reckless which may result in an accident.

 To remind you:
 Please wear a safety helmet, and properly tighten the chin belt when riding a motorcycle.
 Clothes with open or loose cuffs may be blown by wind and cause the cuffs to get caught on the
steering handle and thus affects riding safety.
 So, put on clothes with tight sleeves.
 Hold the steering handle by both hands when riding. Never ride with only one hand.
 Observe the speed limit.
 Wear suitable low-heel shoes.
 Perform periodical maintenance and inspection in accordance with the schedule.

WARNING!!
 To avoid getting burned by exhaust pipe when taking a passenger. Make sure your passenger has
put his/her feet on the pedals.
 After running, the exhaust pipe is very hot, be careful not to get burned when conducting an
inspection or maintenance.
 After running, the exhaust pipe is very hot, select a suitable location to park your scooter to avoid
others getting burned by the exhaust pipe.

CAUTION:
Modified motorcycle will affect its structure or performance, and cause poor engine operation or
exhaust noise, which will result in shortening the motorcycle’s service life.
Besides, modification is illegal and does not conform to the original design and specifications.
A modified motorcycle will not be covered by warranty, therefore, do not modify your motorcycle at will.

5. DRIVING
 Keep the related parts of your body such as arms, palms, lumbar, and toes relax and ride with
the most comfortable posture in order to be able to react quickly whenever it is necessary.
 Rider’s posture will greatly affect riding safety. Always keep your body’s gravity in the center of the
seat, if your body’s gravity is on the rear part of seat, the front wheel load will be reduced, and this
will cause the steering handle shaking. It is dangerous to ride a scooter with an unstable handle.
 It will be much easier to make a turn if rider inclines his body inward when turning. On the other
hand, the rider will feel unstable if his body and the scooter do not incline.
 The scooter is hard to control on a bumpy, unleveled, unpaved road, try to know the road conditions
in advance, slow down and use your shoulder’s force to control the handle.
 Suggestion: Do not load objects on the front pedals unnecessarily, to avoid affecting the riding safety
and the operation of steering handle.

CAUTION:
The rider’s feeling on the handle is slightly different with a load or without a load.
Overload may cause the handle to swing and affects the riding safety.
Therefore, do not overload your scooter.

CAUTION:
 Do not place flammable materials such as rags between the body side cover and engine to avoid
components damaging by fire.
 Do not load objects on areas not specified for loading to avoid damage.

SUGGESTION
To maximize the motorcycle’s performance and prolong its service life:
The first month or first 1000km is the wear- in period for the engine and components.
Avoid rapid acceleration, and keep the speed below 80km/hr.

6. USE GENUINE SPARE PARTS

In order to maintain the scooter’s best performance, each part’s quality, material, and machined
precision must conform with the design requirements. “SYM Genuine Spare Parts” were made from
the same high quality materials used for the original scooter. No parts would be sold to the market
until they could meet the designed specifications through sophisticated engineering and stringent
quality control. Therefore, it is necessary to purchase “SYM Genuine Spare Parts” from “SYM
Authorized Dealers or Franchised Dealers” when replacing spare parts. If you buy cheap, or fake
substitute parts from the market, no guarantee can be provided either for the quality or durability.
Also, it may result in unexpected troubles and lower the scooter’s performance.

13. CAUTIONS FOR RIDING SCOOTER

1. Raise the scooter with the main stand, and sit on the seat.
Push the scooter forwarding to raise the main parking stand.

CAUTION:
 Never rotate the throttle valve handle at will to increase the engine RPM before driving off.

2. Get on the scooter from the left side, and sit on the seat properly, keep your right feet firmly on the
ground to prevent the scooter from falling.

CAUTION:
 Apply brake on the rear wheel before driving off.

3. Rotate the throttle valve handle slowly, and then the scooter will begin to move.

CAUTION:
 Rapidly rotate the throttle valve handle or release the clutch lever may cause the motorcycle
moving forward suddenly and it is very dangerous.
 Make sure the side parking stand is spring back completely before driving off.

【Do not use the brake suddenly and make a sharp turn】
 Rapid braking and sharp turning will cause slip and fall.
 Rapid braking or sharp turning will cause slipping, lateral slipping, or fall especially in rainy days
when the road is wet and slippery.

【Drive with extreme caution during rainy days】

 The brake distance in rain day or on wet road will longer than that on a dry road. Therefore, slow
down and prepare to apply the brake earlier.

 The throttle valve handle should be released, and the brakes should be properly applied as it is
needed while reducing the speed when going down a slope.

26
14. COMBINED BRAKE SYSTEM (CBS)
 CBS brake stands for "Combined brake system". This is a system that allocates brake force to
both front and rear wheels. When impacting on rear brake Combined Brake system helps in
achieving easier operation while braking.
 When the rider squeeze the rear brake lever, it activates both front and rear brakes simultaneously.
This helps in safer braking and better control of the motorcycle.

CAUTION:
 For full braking effectiveness, use both the front and rear brake lever simultaneously, as you
would with a conventional scooter braking system.
 As with a conventional scooter braking system, excessively hard application of the brake
controls may cause wheel lock, reducing control of the scooter.
 For normal braking, apply both the front and rear brake lever to match your road speed. For
maximum braking, close the throttle and firmly apply the front and rear brake lever.
