MAINTENANCE

Wheels
Wheels should be centered in
the fork or dropouts. If you hear
any irregular noises from the
wheels or brakes, the wheels
should be checked and repaired.
The wheels should rotate smoothly
without wobbling from side to
side.
Check the bearing play of the
hubs by lifting the bicycle and
spinning the wheel; it should
continue to spin for several turns
after you remove your hand. To
check the play of the hubs, try to
move the wheel from side to side
between the forks. If you detect
any substantial movement, or if
the wheel is difficult to turn, the
bearings must be adjusted or
replaced. Please contact a local
bicycle dealer to have the hub
bearings adjusted.
Throttle
The throttle should always
be tightly secured and in place. If
there is movement from the
original location, or the throttle
does not power the bicycle when
twisted, bring the bike to a repair
shop; do not fix it yourself.
Rims
The new Jetty comes with
black spoke-less rims to increase
durability and decrease
maintenance.
Tires
It is recommended that your
tire pressure is at least 40 psi.
Before every ride, make sure that
the tires are inflated according to
the pressure on the sidewall.
Improper tire pressure will make
riding more difficult, cause
excessive wear, and will result in
the premature failure of the tire.
The tires should be property
seated in the rim. The fitting of the
tire bead and rim bead should be
checked regularly. If the tube is
pinched between the rim and the
tire, the tube will pop and create a
hole in your tire.
Make sure that the tire is
not cracked or worn unevenly and
that it is without bulges. Also be
sure to check the valve stem to see
if it is straight in the rim. Irregular
tires should be replaced
immediately.
Bike Frame and Handlebars
Before each ride ensure
that the middle of the bike frame
and the handlebars are straight
and in the locked position. Be sure
to double check the locking clasp
