MASTERFOX 125cc

rotor is correctly positioned between the brake pads, insert the axle through the pinch
blocks or fork lugs and through the center of the wheel, followed with installing the nut on
the end of the axle. Be careful not to overtighten the axle nut.
d.
Now for the rear wheel and shock. Lower the swing arm and remove the metallic “T”
separator, make sure to save the nut and bolt. Now position the lose end of the shock
absorber between the same holes where the “T” was, insert the bolt you just removed and
tighten the nut. Do not overtighten.
e.
Next, the “pedals”. One of the reasons pedals can be difficult to remove is lack of
lubrication, so be sure to grease the pedal threads before installation. Then look closely at
the pedal ends to see which side they belong on. You should see a little “R” and “L,” for
“Right” and “Left”. Choose the appropriate pedal and start it into the correct crank arm by
hand turning the pedal axle toward the front of the Masterfox (both pedals thread in in
this direction). If it won’t start, don’t force it! You’re probably trying to install the left pedal
on the right side or vice versa. Thread both pedals into the crank arms as far as you can by
hand. Then fully tighten them with the 15mm wrench.
These are standard BMX pedals but as you already know they won’t be doing any pedaling.
They work as foot pegs. They are ideal for the Masterfox because they can pivot over its on
axle allowing the rider to maintain an ideal “horizontal” positon at all times, even when
climbing or coming down a hill.
f.
Handlebar risers. Each riser is market either Right or Left depending on which side they
belong on. Take the first one and align the two holes with those over the top clamp/flat
plate of the front suspension fork, making sure the mount for the handlebar looks to the
front. Insert the bolt through the front hole followed with installing the split lock, the
washer and the nut. For the rear hole you only need to screw the bolt with the split lock
and washer from the bottom up. Repeat the process with the second riser.
g.
Handlebar. Loosen the stem bolts with a hex key. Slowly loosen all the bolts until the front
plate of the stem is free. Place the handlebar on the stem aligning each steam with the
masking tape on the handlebar, do not remove the tape. Before adjusting the stem plate
back make sure to set it in the position that is most convenient for you. Then place the
stem plate over the handlebar. Finger-tighten the bolts back on. Fixing bolts should be
tightened alternately and incrementally rather than each bolt being fully tightened one at
a time. Tightening a single bolt at a time can damage your handlebar and pose uneven
pressure on your handlebar. Use zip ties or electrical tape to secure down your brake and
switch cables together.

Now the very important security check before moving on:
i.
Brakes
. After the front wheel and handlebar have been installed, it's important to
bring the brake pads back into contact with the brake rotor and build up brake
