What is proper way to brake on a 2014 Kymco Scooter ?
« on: August 14, 2020, 04:39:12 PM »
Hello Everyone,

I have a 2014 kymco 200i Lx scooter and it has Hydraulic brakes.

When i brake, should i use the front brake, the rear brake or both brakes at the same time ?

Thank you for your time and help

I use both brakes all the time (as taught in the MSF course) to train my brain to use both in an emergency situation. I use the back brake only,  if in a parking lot at crawl speed due to the lack of a clutch on CVT scooters. In regular riding equal pressure on both brakes and slightly more to the front just before the scoot comes to a stop.

Congratulations ~! You have some of the best - strongest and smoothest brakes installed on any Kymco scooter!
Yes, use them together for quick, sure stops.
A motorcycle Safe-Riding Course will give you lots of helpful instruction on all aspects of safe riding - including safe braking.
