When off road, it is recommended that you are accompanied by another person on another vehicle so
that you can help each other.
Initially, let your child ride to another person who can help your child stop and turn.
Guideline
Difficult riding conditions are:
There is never a more important period in the life of your engine than the first 5 hours of riding. It is
also important to accustom the rider to the motorcycle during this time. Please read the following
information carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not put an excessive load on it for the first 5 hours of operation. The
various parts in the engine wear and polish them-selves to the correct operating clearances. During this
period, prolonged full-throttle operation or any condition that might result in engine overheating must
be avoided. However, momentary full-throttle operation under load (i.e., two to three seconds maximum)
does not harm the engine. Each full-throttle acceleration should be followed with a substantial rest
period for the engine. To allow the engine to cool down from the temporary buildup of heat, cruise at a
lower engine speed. After the first 5 hours of operation, thoroughly check the motorcycle for loose parts,
oil leakage and any other problems. Be sure to inspect and make adjustments thoroughly, especially
cables. In addition, check all fittings and fasteners for looseness, and tighten if necessary.
Check the spoke tension. ( .57)
• Erect obstacles for your child to navigate around to accustom your child to handling the
vehicle.
• Your child should also try to ride as slowly as possible and in a standing position to get a
better feeling for the vehicle.
• Do not let your child ride on terrain that exceeds your child’s capabilities and experience.
Your child should hold the handlebar firmly with both hands and keep his or her feet on the
footrests when riding.
• Do not exceed the maximum permissible weight of the rider.
The spoke tension must be checked after half an hour of operation.
