Adding 2-cycle Mixing Oil Whenever the red “Low Mixing Oil” warning lamp turns on, you should add mixing oil as soon as possible. Open the mixing oil cover on the right side of the scooter and refill the mixing oil tank with a high quality 2-stroke oil such as Opti-2. This will protect the engine’s moving parts and ensure that you will receive the most power from the engine as well as the longest engine life. Opti-2 can be found at your local Twist N’ Go Dealer.
Adjusting the Brakes Rear Brake Adjustment Park the scooter on its center stand on a flat surface. Check the rear brake free play by measuring how far the tip of the brake lever will move until it begins to resist further movement. (See Figs 11 & 12) Brake lever at rest. (See Fig. 11) Fig. 11 Brake lever travels between 10 & 20 mms from rest until resistance is felt.
When turning the brake adjustment nut, make sure that the nut rests in the correct position when you remove the wrench. The concave surface of the nut must rest flush against the pivot pin. (See Fig 14) CORRECT Make sure that the brake adjustment nut does not look like Fig 15! This brake has been adjusted incorrectly. The scooter is not safe to ride if the adjustment nut is not positioned correctly! Check the rear wheel for drag without the rear brake being applied.
PRE-RIDE CHECKS Brake Freeplay When applying a gentle pressure on the front & rear brake levers, check the freeplay measured at the lever tip. The freeplay should be between 10 and 20 mm. (See Page 10) Tires Tire pressure should be checked frequently. The cold tire pressures are as follows: Front 25 PSI Rear 30 PSI Tires should be regularly checked for damage to the rim as well as damage to the tire itself. Look for any cuts, embedded nails, or other sharp objects. Check for excessive wear as well.
OPERATING THE SCOOTER Starting the Engine (cold) Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position. Hold the rear brake lever to apply rear brake. Set the stop switch to the “run” position (page 8). Do not open the throttle with your right hand. Press the starter button. When the engine starts release the starter button. Do not press the starter button for more than five seconds. If the scooter doesn’t start, wait another ten seconds and repeat the start procedure.
Controlling the Speed The scooter’s speed is adjusted by the throttle control. Rotate the control counterclockwise slowly to increase the speed, and rotate the control clockwise to decrease the scooter’s speed. Using the Brakes The brakes work best when the front and rear brakes are applied at the same time. To apply the brakes: Roll off the throttle quickly, and squeeze the front brake lever while putting pressure on the rear brake lever with your left hand.
Steering Mechanism Examine the front fork to be sure it is not bent or damaged. Raise & lower the front of the scooter and rock it from side to side while listening for any unusual sounds caused by bent front forks. Also turn the front steering axle to make sure that it is not binding or too loose. Brakes Check the freeplay of the brake levers as described on page 10. Operate the front & rear brakes separately while riding at a slow speed. Make sure that each brake system is functioning correctly.
Once the 5 screws have been removed, the cover can be carefully opened to reveal the filter element located within. (See Fig 17) Fig. 17 Gently remove the filter element for inspection & possible cleaning. (See Fig 18) Fig. 18 The air filter can be cleaned using compressed air and returned to service. If inspection of the filter shows any tears, or the filter cannot be adequately cleaned with compressed air, then the filter must be replaced.
Battery The battery is a “maintenance free” type. It should not require electrolyte replacement. To maintain a full charge on the battery, it is best to use the kick starter for short trips. Always charge the battery before storing the scooter for long periods of time. Open the battery plate on the floor board to expose the battery. If the battery posts appear to be dirty or have a white powder on them, they will require cleaning. This is done by: Check to see that the ignition is turned off.
3) After the fluid has stopped draining, replace the drain plug in the drain hole and tighten the plug with a wrench until it is snug. (Do not overtighten the plug!) 4) Unscrew the rear drive oil filler cap located on top of the rear drive assembly beside the rear wheel. (See Fig. 21) Fig. 21 5) Use a small funnel to pour in 100 cc’s of SAE20W-50 oil into the rear drive. (See Fig 22) 6) Replace the rear drive oil filler cap and tighten the cap until snug. Fig.
Spark Plug Locate the spark plug by parking the scooter on it’s side stand and looking at the cylinder head from the left side of the scooter. (See Fig 23) Fig. 23 Pull off the spark plug cap, and remove the spark plug with the spark plug wrench provided in the tool kit. Insert the spark plug back into the spark plug cap. While touching the threads of the spark to the exhaust manifold bolt, turn on the ignition and crank the engine over with the kick starter.
Carburetor Adjustment Start the engine and let it idle for 5 minutes. Adjust the idle adjustment screw until the engine idles at 1500 +/- 100 RPM. (See Fig 25) Idle Adjustment Screw Fig. 25 Better access to the carburetor is obtained by raising the seat and removing the screws which hold the luggage box in place. Then remove the luggage box and seat assemblies. Check for signs of fuel leaks at the fuel tank, hose, and carburetor. Reinstall the luggage box and seat.
3) Is the stop switch in the run position? Review the Start Switch section on page 8. 4) Is there a spark at the spark plug? Review the Spark Plug section on page 21. 5) Is gas flowing to the carburetor? Raise the seat and remove the screws which hold the luggage box in place. Remove the luggage box and seat assemblies. Loosen the hose clamp and pull the fuel line from the carburetor. (See Fig 26) Carburetor Throttle Cable Fuel Line Starter Fig.
5) Are the fuses OK? After making sure the ignition is turned off, expose the battery wiring. (Review the opening the battery compartment procedure on page 8) Locate the fuse block (See Fig 27) Fig. 27 Slide the spare fuse holder over the end of the fuse block and open the fuse block. (See Fig 28) Fig. 28 Remove each of the fuses for examination. (See Fig 29) If you see the fuse wire is broken, replace the defective fuse with the spare fuse. Fig.
IGNITION MODULE REPLACEMENT If the ignition module must be changed, then use the following procedure. 1) Park the scooter on it’s side stand. Remove the center cover and side panel or seat box to expose CDI. Fig. 30 2) Remove the screw which holds the CDI unit in place. (See Fig. 30) 3) Lift the CDI unit out of the scooter. (See Fig. 31) Fig. 31 4) Disconnect the wires from the CDI unit and remove the unit completely from the scooter. (See Fig 32) 5) The CDI unit is not repairable.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE SCOOTER STORAGE If your scooter will not be used for two months or more, you should store it properly to ensure that it will run reliably when you take it out of storage. It is also advisable to make any repairs to the scooter that it may need prior to storage. This will ensure that you do not forget to make the repairs before riding the scooter after taking it out of storage. Drain the fuel from the scooter’s fuel tank, gas line and carburetor.
