Squeaky Brakes
The brakes may squeak before they are broken in. This is normal and will not affect
the function or performance of the brakes. With continued use, the squeak should go
away.
TIRES AND WHEELS
The Bladez XTR-Street uses an identical rim and tires assembly on the front and rear
wheels, which means that the tires can be rotated. The wheels are actually two wheel
halves (split rim) bolted together to make it easier to remove and replace the tire.
The rear wheel is fitted with a special spacer to accommodate the sprockets, while the
front wheel has a bracket for the disc brake.
Tire wear will differ based on rider weight, riding conditions and care. Replacement tires
can be obtained at your local Bladez dealer, through motorcycle shops, or from the
Bladez website at
www.ebladez.com
.
Tire Pressure
This 3.00-4 tire must be inflated to a maximum of
60 P.S.I.
.
Empty all air from the tire, prior to loosing the bolt to split the rim.
ADJUSTING THE HEAD UNIT
The head unit should come adjusted from the factory. However, riding on rough terrain
and general use may cause the head unit to become loose over time. It may be
necessary to adjust the head unit from time to time.
To adjust the head unit:
1. Rotate the handle bar as far right as it
will go to expose the HEAD UNIT (Fig.
10).
2. Using a large adjustable wrench, gently
turn the BEARING LOCK clockwise to
tighten.
* DO NOT over tighten as it will make it difficult to steer
and may DAMAGE THE BEARING RACE.
