Motorcycle Safety
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Your motorcycle can provide you many years of service and
pleasure if you take responsibility for your own safety and
understand the challenges that you can meet on the road.
There
is much that you can do to protect yourself when you ride. You
will find many helpful recommendations throughout this
manual. Here are some very important safety tips:
Wear a helmet
Motorcycle safety equipment starts with a quality helmet.
One of the most serious injuries you can suffer in a crash is a
head injury. Always wear a properly approved helmet. You
should also wear suitable eye protection.
Make yourself easy to see
To make yourself more visible, wear bright reflective clothing,
position yourself so other drivers can see you, signal before
turning or changing lanes, and use your horn when it will help
others notice you.
Know your limits
Ride within the boundaries of your own skill at all times.
Knowing these limits and staying within them will help you to
avoid accidents.
Protective Apparel
For your safety, always wear an approved motorcycle helmet
eye protection, boots, gloves, long pants, and a long-sleeved
shirt or jacket whenever you ride your motorcycle.
Helmets and protection
Your helmet is your most important piece of riding gear
because it offers the best protection against head injuries. Your
helmet should fit your head comfortably and securely. Always
wear a face shield or goggles to protect your eyes and to aid
your vision.
Additional riding gear
In addition to a helmet and eye protection, you should also use:
Sturdy boots with nonslip soles to help protect your
feet and ankles
Leather gloves to keep your hands warm and help
pre- vent blisters, cuts, burns and bruises
A motorcycle riding suit or jacket that has been designed for comfort as well as protection. Bright
colored and reflective clothing can help make you
more notice- able in traffic. Be sure to avoid any
loose clothing that might get caught on any part of
your motorcycle.
Load limits
These specifications are the load limits for your K-Pipe 125/50

Break-In Recommendations
The first 1000 miles (1600 km) of riding are the most
important in the life of your motorcycle. Proper break-in
operation during this time will help ensure maximum life and
performance from your new motorcycle. Proper break-in
operation allows the machined surfaces to polish each other and
mate smoothly.
Avoid using full throttle for the first 1600 km (1000 miles).
The initial service:

rate for long periods of time. This allows the parts to be "loaded" with
pressure, and then unloaded, allowing the parts to cool. This
aids in the mating process of the engine and transmission
components. It is essential that some stress be placed on
these components during break-in to ensure this mating
process. Do not, however, apply excessive load on the
motorcycle's drive line.

SECTION 4 Maintenance
The importance of maintenance
Maintaining your motorcycle properly is essential for safe,
economical and trouble-free riding. It will also help reduce
air pollution and maximize fuel economy.
To help you properly care for your motorcycle, the following
pages in this Owner's Manual include a maintenance
schedule to help you make sure your motorcycle is serviced
at the appropriate intervals.
These instructions are based on the assumption that your
motorcycle will be used exclusively for its designed purpose.
Sustained high speed operation or operation in unusually wet
or dusty conditions will require more frequent service than
specified in the maintenance schedule. Consult your KYMCO
dealer for recommendations applicable to your individual
needs and use.
NOTE: Always follow the inspection and maintenance
recommendations and schedules in this Owner's
Manual.
37
Maintenance Schedule
Perform the pre-ride inspection (see page 17) at each scheduled maintenance period. This interval should be judged by
the odometer reading.
Maintenance schedule legend (see page 43):
I: INSPECT AND CLEAN, ADJUST, LUBRICATE OR REPLACE IF NECESSARY
C: CLEAN
R: REPLACE A: ADJUST
L: LUBRICATE
The maintenance schedule on the opposite page specifies the maintenance required to keep your Quannon motorcycle in
peak operating condition. Maintenance work should be performed in accordance with KYMCO standards and specifications
by properly trained and equipped technicians. Your KYMCO dealer meets all of these requirements.
* Should be serviced by your KYMCO dealer, unless you have the proper tools, service data, and are technically
qualified.
* * In the interest of safety, we recommend these items be serviced only by your KYMCO dealer. KYMCO recommends
that your KYMCO dealer road test your motorcycle after each periodic maintenance service is completed.
Maintenance schedule notes (see page 38):
1. At higher odometer readings, repeat at the frequency interval established here.
2. Service more frequently if the motorcycle is ridden in unusually wet or dusty areas.
3. Service more frequently when riding in rain or at full throttle.

Engine Oil
Engine oil recommendation
Use a premium quality 4-stroke engine oil to ensure longer
service life of your motorcycle. Only use oils that have been
formulated for use in a motorcycle, and have a SJ rating
per the API service classification.
Specified Oil Type:
SAE 15W-40
API Rating:
SJ (or greater)
Oil Capacity:
1.1 qt (1.0L)
Oil Capacity (during oil change):
0.95 qt (0.9L)
If this viscosity is not available, select an alternative engine
oil, according to the chart shown below.

5. Remove the oil filler cap. Add oil to the engine per the
specified amount, and reinstall the oil filler cap.
6. Verify that the oil level reaches the upper mark in the oil
level window 2.
7. Start the engine and let it idle for 2 - 3 minutes.
8. Stop the engine and check the oil level in the oil level in
the dip stick (on level ground).
3. Remove the oil drain bolt 1, and drain the engine oil into a
suitable container.
9. Adjust the oil level as required (so the level reaches the
upper mark in the dip stick 2). Replace the oil filler

Brake fluid
With the motorcycle in an upright position, check the front
and rear brake fluid level. The level should be above the lower
level mark in both brake fluid reservoir. If the level is at or
below the lower level mark "L", check the front and rear
brake pads for wear (see page 19).
45
Battery
Worn brake pads should be replaced immediately. If
the pads are not worn, have your brake system
inspected for leaks. Do not ride your motorcycle
unless the brakes are in perfect working order.
Do not mix brake fluids of different brands or ratings.
This may cause brake failure and is very dangerous.
Your KYMCO motorcycle is equipped with a maintenancefree (sealed) type battery, so it is not necessary to check
the battery's electrolyte level or add distilled water.
Your battery is a maintenance-free type battery and can
be permanently damaged if the cap strip is removed.
NOTE: If your battery seems weak and/or is leaking electrolyte (causing hard starting or other electrical troubles),
contact your KYMCO dealer immediately.

Cleaning
Clean your motorcycle regularly to protect the surface
finishes, and inspect for damager wear, and oil, coolant or
brake fluid leakage.
Avoid cleaning products that are not specifically designed for
motorcycle, scooter, or automobile surfaces. Nonspecific
cleaners may contain harsh detergents or chemical solvents
that can damage the metal, paint, and plastic on your
motorcycle.
NOTE: If your motorcycle is still warm from recent
operation, give the engine and exhaust system time to
cool off before washing. Avoid the use of high
pressure water spray (typical in coin-operated car
washes), as the powerful spray can damage
components on your motorcycle.

NOTE:
Braking efficiency may be temporarily
impaired immediately after washing the motorcycle,
because the brake components are wet. Anticipate
longer stopping distances to avoid a possible
accident.
Finishing touches:
After washing your motorcycle, 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 nonabrasive polish or wax made specifically for
motorcycles, scooters, or automobiles. Apply the polish or
wax according to the instructions on the container.
50
Storage Guide
Extended storage, such as for the winter months, requires
that you take certain steps to reduce deterioration resulting
from your motorcycles inactivity. Whenever possible,
perform any necessary periodic maintenance or repairs
before storage, so the motorcycle will be in good condition
when it is removed from storage.
Storage
1. Change the engine oil and filter.
2. Empty the fuel tank into an approved gasoline container,
using a commercially available hand siphon, or an
equivalent method. Spray the inside of the tank with an
aerosol rust-inhibiting oil. Close the fuel filler cap on
the fuel tank
1.Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You can be
burned or seriously injured when handling fuel. Stop the
engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away. Refuel the
motorcycle outdoors and wipe up any spills immediately.
3. To prevent rusting in the cylinder, perform the following:
Remove the spark plug cap from the spark plug, and
use tape or string to secure the cap to any convenient
plastic body part so that it is positioned away from the
spark plugs.
51
Troubleshooting
It can be frustrating if your motorcycle fails to start, or
stops running while you are riding. In the rare instance
this hap- pens, take a few moments to check some items,
and you may be back to riding your motorcycle soon.
