PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
EAU15591
The condition of a vehicle is the owner’s responsibility. Vital components can start to deteriorate quickly and unexpectedly,
even if the vehicle remains unused (for example, as a result of exposure to the elements). Any damage, fluid leakage or loss
of tire air pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important, in addition to a thorough visual inspec-
tion, to check the following points before each ride.NOTE:
Pre-operation checks should be made each time the vehicle is used. Such an inspection can be accomplished in a very short
time; and the added safety it assures is more than worth the time involved.
EWA11150
wIf any item in the Pre-operation check list is not working properly, have it inspected and repaired before operating
the vehicle.

TiresTo maximize the performance, durabil-
ity, and safe operation of your vehicle,
note the following points regarding the
specified tires.
Tire air pressure
The tire air pressure should be checked
and, if necessary, adjusted before each
ride.
EWA10500
w8 88 8
8The tire air pressure must be
checked and adjusted on cold
tires (i.e., when the temperature
of the tires equals the ambient
temperature).
8 88 8
8The tire air pressure must be
adjusted in accordance with the
riding speed and with the total
weight of rider, passenger, cargo,
and accessories approved for this
model.
Tire air pressure (measured on cold
tires):
0~90 kg (0~198 lb):
Front:
175 kPa (26 psi) (1.75 kgf/cm
2)
Rear:
200 kPa (29 psi) (2.0 kgf/cm2)
90~170 kg (198~419 lb) to maxi-
mum load:
Front:
200 kPa (29 psi) (2.0 kgf/cm2)
Rear:
225 kPa (33 psi) (2.25 kgf/cm2)
Maximum load*:
170 kg (374 lb)
* Total weight of rider, passenger,
cargo and accessories
EWA11200
wBecause loading has an enormous
impact on the handling, braking, per-
formance and safety characteristics
of your vehicle, you should keep the
following precautions in mind.
8 88 8
8NEVER OVERLOAD THE VE-
HICLE! Operation of an over-
loaded motorcycle may result in
tire damage, loss of control, orsevere injury. Make sure that the
total weight of rider, passenger,
cargo, and accessories does not
exceed the specified maximum
load for the vehicle.
8 88 8
8Do not carry along loosely
packed items, which can shift
during a ride.
Securely pack the heaviest items
close to the center of the vehicle
and distribute the weight evenly
on both sides.
8 88 8
8Adjust the tire air pressure with
regard to the load.
Check the tire condition and air
pressure before each ride.

SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGE
EWA10950
wTo prevent damage or injury from
sparking, make sure to ground the
spark plug electrodes while turning
the engine over.5. Lubricate all control cables and the
pivoting points of all levers and
pedals as well as of the sidestand/
centerstand.
6. Check and, if necessary, correct
the tire air pressure, and then lift
the scooter so that both of its
wheels are off the ground. Alterna-
tively, turn the wheels a little every
month in order to prevent the tires
from becoming degraded in one
spot.
7. Cover the muffler outlet with a plas-
tic bag to prevent moisture from en-
tering it.
8. Remove the battery and fully charge
it. Store it in a cool, dry place and
charge it once a month. Do not store
the battery in an excessively cold
or warm place [less than 0 °C (30°F) or more than 30 °C (90 °F)]. For
more information on storing the
battery, see page 6-23.
NOTE:
Make any necessary repairs before stor-
ing the scooter.
