Adjusting the Free Play of the Gear Selector
1.) The gear selector mechanism uses the same system to adjust
as the front and rear brakes.
2.) Correct tension is achieved when gear selector is in 1
st
gear,
the scooter should free wheel backwards. When the scooter is in
2
nd
gear, it should not be able to free wheel backwards.
3.) It is critical to ensure that when 2
nd
gear is selected (Fig. 18)
that the clutch arm pressure plate (a) is 90° to the gearbox. This
can be adjusted by (b). Ensure that the nuts are securely
fastened.

experience the second gear slipping.
An easy way to determine if your scooter’s second gear selector is

adjust the free play of the gear selector cable (No.1 – Fig. A).
This is normal and can easily be adjusted by following these
steps:
While riding, you may stop and easily take up the selector tension

Before you adjust the Secondary Cable Adjuster, be sure to completely turn the Primary
Adjuster Knob (No. 2 – Fig. A) completely clockwise until it stops.

Secondary Cable Adjuster in a counter-clockwise direction until the loose slack has been
