MAINTENANCE
Washing your scooter
1. Rinse the scooter thoroughly with cool water to remove any
loose dirt.
2. Clean the scooter with a sponge or soft cloth using cool water.
Avoid directing water at muffler outlets and electrical parts.
NOTE: The inside of the headlight lens may be clouded im-
mediately after washing the scooter. Moisture condensation
inside the headlight lens will disappear gradually by heat from
the headlight. After washing, run the engine while keeping
the headlight on to dissipate the condensation.
3. Clean the plastic parts using a cloth or sponge dampened with a
solution of mild detergent and water. Rub the soiled area gently
rinsing it frequently with fresh water . Take care to keep brake
fluid or other chemical solvents away from the scooter , as they
will damage the plastic and painted surfaces.
4. After cleaning, rinse the scooter thoroughly with plenty of
clean water. This rinsing is required to remove detergent
residue can corrode alloy parts.
5. Dry the scooter and then start the engine, and let it run for
several minutes.
6. Test the brakes before riding the scooter . Several applica-
tions of the brakes may be necessary to restore normal brak-
ing performance.
NOTE: Due to water on the brake components, braking
efficiency may be temporarily impaired immediately after
washing the scooter. Anticipate longer stopping distance
to avoid a possible accident.
Finishing touches:
After washing your scooter , consider using a commercially-
available spray cleaner/polish or a quality liquid or paste wax
to enhance and protect the paint's finish. Use only a non-abra-
sive polish or wax made specifically for scooters, motorcycles,
or automobiles. Apply the polish or wax according to the in-
structions on the container.
