This section will cover basic braking technique for your mini bike. To slow

or stop the bike, squeeze the brake lever rmly and smoothly. Gradually

increase your braking pressure as you feel it is needed. The more pressure

you apply to the brake, the more braking power will be applied. When you

come to a full stop, put your feet on the ground rst to avoid tipping over.

Remember that your minibike has a rear brake only, which is more than

adequate for a mini bike of this size. Always think ahead and allow yourself

enough room to stop safely. Just be careful to apply braking carefully to

avoid sending the bike into a skid which will cause you to lose control.

If you apply the brakes too quickly and start to skid, release the brake to

regain control and then apply braking power carefully.

When riding on wet, or loose rocky conditions your braking power can be

reduced greatly and it will be much easier to put the bike into a skid and lose

control. If the surface is wet or loose, you must reduce your speed and allow

more room to stop safely.

Avoid jamming on the brake suddenly or accelerating too quickly as either

of these actions can cause you to lose control of the mini bike.

With the mini bike stopped, switch it o with the kill switch, ip down the

kickstand and lean the bike over on it to park. Position and turn the fuel valve

to OFF. Always park your mini bike on a at surface to avoid tipping over.

If you are going to store the mini bike for an extended period of time, close

the fuel valve with the engine still running until it stops. This will burn all the

fuel out of the carburetor and reduce fuel system problems in the future.

Keeping your mini bike in perfect operating condition is absolutely essential

to your safety. It is also the best way to protect your investment, get maximum

performance, avoid breakdowns and have more fun. To help keep your mini

bike well maintained, the maintenance schedule following will provide you

valuable information that will help you keep your mini bike in excellent and

safe operating condition and avoid injury.

The service intervals in this section are based on average riding conditions.

More frequent service is needed if you subject your mini bike to severe use,

such as competition or riding in unusually wet or dusty conditions.

Improper maintenance of this mini bike or failing to correct a

problem before you ride can cause a crash in which you could be seriously

injured or killed. Always follow the inspection and maintenance recommen-

dations and schedules in this manual.

Remember, proper maintenance of your minibike is the responsibility of the

owner and failure to do so can cause your warranty to be void.

Note to parents: As a parent it is up to you to make sure the mini bike is

properly

maintained and in safe operating condition. For youngsters, learning

how to take

care of a mini bike and perform basic maintenance can be an important part

of their riding experience. However, if you allow a youngster to perform or assist

in any maintenance task, such as lling the fuel tank, you need to provide close

supervision to make sure the task is performed safely.

Make sure the engine is o before you begin any maintenance or repairs.

This will help eliminate the following hazards:

1. Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust. Be sure

you have good ventilation whenever you have the mini bike running.

2. Burns from hot engine parts. Let the engine and exhaust cool

before you touch them.

3. Injury from moving parts. Do not work on the engine while run-

ning unless instructed by this manual to do so.

Be sure you have all the tools needed and understand the procedure before

starting. Always be careful around gasoline. Keep ames and sparks away.
