CLEANING/ADJUSTING DRIVE CHAIN
The drive chain should be cleaned, lubricated, and inspected
every time you ride the mini bike.
WARNING:
Always inspect the drive chain tension before you ride the
mini bike. Too much slack could allow the drive chain to
come off the sprockets, which could cause an accident
or result in serious damage to the mini bike.
Cleaning the drive chain:
 Wash the drive chain with an approved chain cleaner.
 Dry the chain, then lubricate with chain lubricant or the
equivalent.
MAINTENANCE

TIRE MAINTENANCE

This mini bike is equipped with low pressure tubeless tires
of the size and type listed below:
Tire Air Pressure
Check the air pressure in all tires before riding. Improper air
pressure will affect handling, steering response, traction, tire
life and rider comfort. Be sure tires are inflated to the pres-
sures shown below.
NOTE: Tire pressure should only be measured or
adjusted when tires are cold.
Check the tire pressure carefully while inflating. Too much
air in the tire could cause the tire to burst, causing serious
personal injury.
Maintaining correct air pressure in the tires is very impor-
tant. Too little pressure could allow the tire to rotate off
the wheel rim. Too much pressure could cause the tire to
burst. Failure to maintain correct air pressure in the tires
could cause problems with vehicle operation and stability,
causing serious personal injury.

TIRE REPAIR

If a leak or flat tire occurs due to a puncture, the tire may
be repaired using a plug-type patch. If the damage is from a
cut, or if the puncture cannot be repaired using a plug, the
tire should be replaced.
When operating your mini bike in areas where transportation
or service facilities are not readily available, keep a plug-type
repair kit and tire air pump with you.

REPLACING TIRES

When tires are worn, the traction of the vehicle will be
decreased, which increases the chance of having an acci-
dent. Tires should be replaced when the depth on the tread
is 0.16 in. (4 mm) or less. Always use identical replacement
tires. Using improper tires on the unit could cause loss of
control, which could increase your risk of accident.
Have tires replaced by an authorized service center or a
qualified tire repair station.
