Coolant is critical to your liquid cooled scooter engine. If
there is no coolant in the engine during operation it may
cause sever damage to the engine. The piston, cylinder and
cylinder head could all become damaged if the engine is
run without coolant. Therefore, the coolant level should be
checked prior to use. If low, add coolant and bring the level
up to the proper level. The coolant is green and can be ob-
served by looking through the leg shield vent on the left hand
side. Add coolant when the level is at or below the MIN mark.
To add coolant: support your scooter on the center stand,
open the glove box and remove the left inspection cover,
remove the coolant filler cover from the top left of the leg
shield. Rotate the cap (2) counterclockwise to remove it and
using a funnel add coolant to the cooling system observing
the coolant level (1) until it reaches the MAX mark.
Starting your Scooter
Warning:
When the scooter engine is warm, DO NOT remove
the radiator cap, the coolant temperature is still very high
and it will spray out under pressure and can cause burns
if done so. Wait until the engine has cooled to check/add
coolant to the cooling system. .
1. The fuel, engine oil, and coolant levels should be checked prior
to the engine being started and the fuel quantity should be suf
-
ficient to satisfy the driven mileage planned. The engine oil and
coolant levels should be between the lower and upper level. If
they are low, top off the levels to the MAX/Upper mark before
use.
2. Place the scooter on the center stand with the rear wheel off of
the ground.
3. Insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it to the “ “
position.
4. If starting electrically, pull in the front or rear brake handle.
5. If operating in cold temperatures and especially during the
winter start the engine and allow it to warm up before riding, then
wait for the coolant temperature gauge to read “C” before riding.
Attention:
After your FI scooter has started at low temperatures
wait for at least 2 minutes before exceeding 5,000RPM. This will
reduce the chances of lubrication drag causing internal engine
damage.
