Driving; Use Genuine Spare Parts - Sym MAXSYM TL 500 Manuel D'utilisation

5. Driving

Keep the related parts of your body such as arms, palms, lumbar, and toes relax and ride with the most
comfortable posture in order to be able to react quickly whenever it is necessary.
• Rider's posture will greatly affect riding safety. Always keep your body's gravity in the center of the
saddle, if your body's gravity is on the rear part of saddle, the front wheel load will be reduced, and this
will cause the steering handle shaking. It is dangerous to ride a scooter with an unstable handle.
• It will be much easier to make a turn if rider inclines his body inward when turning. On the other hand,
the rider will feel unstable if his body and the scooter do not incline.
• The scooter is hard to control on a bumpy, unleveled, unpaved road, try to know the road conditions in
advance, slow down and use your shoulder's force to control the handle.
• Suggestion: Do not load objects on the front pedals unnecessarily, to avoid affecting the riding safety
and the operation of steering handle.
CAUTION:
 The rider's feeling on the handle is slightly different with a load or without a load.
 Overload may cause the handle to swing and affects the riding safety.
 Therefore, do not overload your scooter.
 Overloading the scooter will cause the scooter to become unstable and hard to maneuver, it may cause
serious damage to the tires and rims, as well as it may change the center of gravity, which could result
in an accident that could cause injury or death. Do not exceed the maximum authorized load.
CAUTION:
• Do not place flammable materials such as rags between the body side cover and engine to avoid
components damaging by fire.
• Do not load objects on areas not specified for loading to avoid damage.
SUGGESTION
To maximize the scooter's performance and prolong its service life:
The first month or first 1000km is the wear- in period for the engine and components.
Avoid rapid acceleration, and do not exceed the recommended engine revolution limits (page 30).
