Operation (continued)

Shutting off the engine

Always shut off the engine by turning the ignition switch to OFF.

Stopping the vehicle

WARNING! WET, OIL, OR SANDY ROADS REDUCE

BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS. HARD BRAKING ON THESE

SURFACES COULD LEAD TO LOSS OF CONTROL AND A

SERIOUS ACCIDENT. ALWAYS REDUCE SPEED AS

GRADUALLY AS POSSIBLE.

When braking, always engage the rear brake first to retain maximum control

of the scooter. Most of your stopping power comes from the front wheel.

Parking

Always leave the ignition key assembly in the lock position when parking the

vehicle to help prevent theft. Park on smooth hard surfaces, use the center

stand whenever possible.

Breaking in

Following this break-in procedure ensures that your scooter is

functioning properly and maximizes engine life.

Never drive this vehicle over 25mph during the first 250 miles of

operation. Excessive speed could result in engine failure.

Always use fresh 89 octane gasoline. Avoid gasoline that contains

alcohol, which can damage rubber gaskets and engine seals.

Check and adjust the brakes, throttle cable, tire pressure, and

fasteners weekly before riding. This is in addition to the pre-ride

inspection.

Schedule regular maintenance with your authorized Baja

Inc. service center.

Never add oil to the gasoline; your scooter has a 4-stroke engine

with an internal lubricating system.
