INSTALLING THE BATTERY (not a warranty item)

1. Remove the battery and electrolyte from the box.
2. Peel the red tape from the top of the battery.
3. Unwrap the plastic piece with the 6 tubes extending from it. In this wrapper you will also find a black battery
cap and some nuts/screws/washers.
4. Place the plastic piece into the battery and line the electrolyte bottles up with the self puncturing tips. Push
the bottles into the tips and cut small air holes into the bottom of the electrolyte bottles to allow them to drain
quicker.
5. Wait till the bottles are all empty. Then wait at least another 30 minutes before putting the black caps on the
battery. Trickle charge battery using a 2 amp or less motorcycle battery charger.
6. The battery will either be installed under the seat or floor mat, depending on the scooter you have.
7. Using the nuts and bolts from the battery box, install the two (2) positive connections to the positive side of
the battery and the one (1) black wire to the ground. Place the nuts under the terminal top. Put the wire
connector over the hole then place the washer and screw into hole and secure.
8. Place the battery and replace the cover. If screws are used to hold the cover in place, they are in a plastic
bag that was under the seat.

ADDING FUEL AND OIL

2 strokes- fill the oil reservoir located under the seat or on the right side of scooter for model 21 with a good 2
cycle oil. It should meet specs for air cooled engines API TC and JASO M. Also make sure it is for oil injection
systems. Walmart has a gallon size of their store brand oil that meets the specs and it is cheap.
For the first 4-5 tankfulls also mix your gasoline with the oil in a 50:1 ratio (gas:oil). This helps engine break-in
and allows you to make sure your oil injections system is working correctly.

4 strokes- Put gas in tank. Check your oil. If you need more oil use 10W-30 or 10W-40 in hotter climates.
Gear oil 75w-90 or 85w-90 for hotter climates

Installing mirrors

Install the two rear view mirrors located under the seat and screw them in.

Lighted mirrors- for model 18
right side- blue wire to blue wire, red to green
left side- red to green, blue to orange
For X1 and X8-
right side- brown to brown, blue to blue, green to green
left side- brown to brown, green to green, purple to orange
Sometimes wire colors are different and you must try different ways of hooking them up. Please be sure to test
the wires first with a test light to find the constant, directional and negative and label them. Then be sure you
hook up a positive and a negative when attaching the wires and not 2 positives to the mirrors with no ground.
Scooter must be running and to find the directional you must hit the signal button.

Please note: scooters have been shipped halfway around the world. As a result, wires, screws, bolts and nuts may have
come lose during shipping. We recommend you tighten all screws and bolts and check to make sure all wires are secure before
riding. It is the customer's responsibility to do the scooter preparation (or hire a mechanic) that is normally done by the mechanic
at a large brand name dealer such as Honda, this is part of the savings you get by buying over the Internet. BE SURE TO TIGHTEN
THE BOLTS GOING FROM THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD TO THE EXHAUST PIPE AND USE LOCKTITE TO ENSURE THEY WILL NOT
COME OFF.
Scooters may from time to time have minor scratches due to shipping movement. These are not considered a reason to return the
scooter. A small monetary adjustment may be agreed upon between dealer and customer to accomodate this.

The Idle Mixture on your brand new Scooter may need to be adjusted when you receive it. The carburetor is
adjusted at the factory (sea level) where the atmospheric conditions may be different than they are in your area.
It isn’t difficult for anyone with a small degree of mechanical aptitude. All you need is a screwdriver and a good
set of ears.

The carburetor is located under the right rear fender in front of the rear wheel, attached to the engine. On the
side of the carburetor, you will find two brass screws. The screw located farthest from the engine (on the left as
you look at it) is the AIR/FUEL MIXTURE screw. Turning this screw clockwise RICHENS the mixture with more
fuel/less air; turning it counter clockwise LEANS the mixture with less fuel/more air. The screw closer to the
engine at the base of the “tower” is the IDLE SPEED screw. Turning this screw clockwise INCREASES the idle
speed, turning it counter clockwise DECREASES the idle speed. The next step is to warm up the scooter by riding it
around for about ten minutes. When the engine is warmed up, park it on the centerstand in a well ventilated area,
and leave the engine running at idle. With a screwdriver, give the AIR/FUEL MIXTURE SCREW a quarter turn in
whichever direction INCREASES the engine idle speed.

IF turning the screw in either direction causes the Idle speed to DECREASE, that’s it! Set the screw back to it’s
original position, and you’re done. Move on to the IDLE SPEED adjustment. IF turning the mixture screw in one
direction or the other causes the idle speed to INCREASE, continue turning the screw in that direction another
QUARTER TURN, and listen carefully to the engine speed for a few seconds. Continue doing this a quarter turn at a
time until you hear the engine idle speed begin to DECREASE, and return the screw setting to where the engine
runs at the fastest idle. As a final touch, give the screw 1/8th turn clockwise no matter which direction you’ve
been turning it (to err on the rich side which runs cooler). Now, you’re ready to set the IDLE SPEED. Turn the
IDLE SPEED screw counter clockwise until the engine sounds like it wants to stall, then clockwise again about
1/8th to a quarter turn to smooth it out. Your scooter seems happy to idle at about 1800 to 2000 rpm.

To summarize the process:
1. Warm up the engine.
2. Adjust the AIR/FUEL MIXTURE screw either way for the fastest idle speed, (remember to err on the RICH side
by giving the mixture screw 1/8th turn clockwise from fastest idle).
3. Adjust the IDLE SPEED screw for a normal sounding idle

The Oil Pump is driven by the rear wheel. Every few minutes when the engine is running at idle, rev the motor up
a bit to spin the rear wheel for a few seconds. That will keep the engine lubricated during the process, and one
reason to do it with the scooter sitting on it’s centerstand.

If you’ve already been tweaking on the adjustment settings, and have no idea where they were originally, turn the
Air/Fuel Mixture screw clockwise until the engine stops (DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE SCREW!), then back it out
counter clockwise 1 ½ turns as a starting point for the procedure. Start the engine, and set the Idle Speed screw
for a “normal” low idle, and begin the adjustment procedure from Step 1.

Setting the Idle Mixture really doesn’t change the mixture at other throttle settings. From about ¼ to full throttle,
the mixture is controlled by jets within the carburetor. Under normal circumstances you won’t need to bother with
them.

Under the seat you will find a door leading to the engine area. Remove the screw holding this door closed and you
will see the carburetor immediately below the opening. The screw on top controls the idle speed of the engine.
Turning this screw clockwise will increase engine speed and counterclockwise will decrease engine speed. Adjust
engine speed to lowest RPMs possible without stalling the scooter. Scooter should run smoothly, if not then you
have set it too low.

Look under the seat from the left side of the scooter. You will see the carburetor. Find the brass screw located
toward the front of the carburetor. This is the fuel flow adjustment screw. Turning this screw clockwise will
decrease the amount of fuel, relative to air, getting to the carb thereby resulting in a leaner mixture of fuel to air.
Turning it counterclockwise will increase the amount of fuel, relative to air, getting to the carb thereby resulting in
a richer mixture of fuel to air.

Adjust this screw until you have reached the maximum RPMs. Go back to the idle adjustment screw and lower the
idle speed to the lowest possible RPMs without stalling the scooter. Again the engine should run smoothly. If not
bring idle up until it does.

Ride the scooter to make sure it accelerates in a smooth fashion. If you feel any hesitation you may need to turn
the fuel mixture screw just an 1/8th to 1/4 turn to the left or right to get the mixture just right. Start by turning it
clockwise 1/8th of a turn and riding again to see if it made a difference. If not try another 1/8th turn clockwise.
Ride again to test. If it feels worse then go back to original setting and turn counterclockwise 1/8th of a turn etc...

Following this procedure should have your new scooter running like a dream. If it does not, then there may be
something else causing the problem. Call us and we will try to help you figure it out or take the scooter to a
mechanic.
