Engine
The Lead is powered by a simple and straightforward 102cm3
forced air-cooled 2-valve SOHC single-cylinder engine that provides
ample power for getting around town in a quick, quiet and
economical fashion.
Its maintenance free CDI and push-button electric starter ensure
quick and easy starts and smooth, reliable operation, and its
exhaust port Air Induction system combines with an exhaust
catalyser tube to reduce exhaust emissions to complete compliance
with EURO-2 emissions regulations.
Chassis
The Lead's rugged tubular steel frame is built to stand up to
considerable abuse and still keep running strong, even carrying
heavy loads. Its low-deck centre backbone configuration ensures
optimal rigidity for responsive and confident handling, while
providing a spacious floor area for positioning one's feet.
The Lead's bottom-link front suspension provides confident
handling and cornering control, and is supported by an oil damper
suspension system for smoothly progressive operation that ably
soaks up the bumps of the road. Its unit swingarm rear suspension
uses a single spring-loaded rear damper for a plush ride and
excellent long-term riding comfort.
The Lead's sturdy 10" ComCast steel wheels mount tubeless tyres
and are stopped by 130mm leading/trailing drum brakes front and
rear for confident braking control.
Like most scooters, the Lead has no sidestand, but can be easily
tilted up and parked on its folding centre stand.
