Brake Pad Inspection
Inspect the thickness of brake pad to verify if
there is enough lining to brake properly.

If the wear indicated groove at the brake pad

is no longer visible, this means that the
brake pad is worn and requires replacement.

Before riding, apply braking several times to

reach the proper lever stroke and firm feel
on braking action that will ensure the brake
pads are pressed against the brake disks
securely.

WARNING
The brakes will wear quickly if the lever is
continually applied during riding.
The worn brake pad will increase the stop
distance and may cause an accident easily.

 EMISSION CONTROL
Crankcase Emission Control System
The scooter is equipped with a closed crankcase system. Blow-by gas is recycled into the
combustion chamber via the intake system. This arrangement is to prevent blow-by gas
from spreading to the atmosphere.
Exhaust Emission Control System
The exhaust emission from the scooter is controlled by combustion management, fuel
delivery, ignition setting and exhaust system. The exhaust system also includes the
catalytic converter in the muffler.
Evaporative Emission Control System
The evaporative emission control system is used to prevent gasoline vapors from escaping
into the atmosphere from the fuel tank and fuel system.
Noise Exhaust Emission Control System
The engine, intake and exhaust systems of the scooter are designed to comply with federal
or local noise regulations. Do not modify the intake or exhaust system; this behavior will
offend against the noise regulations.

WARNING
Do not adapt any original factory design and setting, which will
deteriorate the sound or emission level.
