A tire blowout can lead to a dangerous situation, not to mention being very
inconvenient. It is important to inspect your tires before each ride.
• Inspect both tires for bumps and bulges in the sidewall and tread.
• Look closely for cuts or other damage.
• Inspect both tires for embedded objects like glass, nails or sharp rocks that
you may have picked up.
• Inspect the tread depth of your tires and replace them if the depth drops
below a tenth of an inch, or if you notice a serious reduction in traction.
• Be sure that both tires are inflated to 10-15 PSI. If you use a high-powered
air hose, like those found at a gas station or tire shop, inflate carefully as the
small tires on the MBx11 will inflate very quickly and could explode if they
are severely over inflated.
If a tire has been punctured it can be patched, but if it is torn or has a cut
more than 1/2” long, the tire should be replaced. You may repair a punctured
tire with a patch kit for a temporary fix but a patched tire may not be as
reliable as a replacement. Always use replacement tires that are the same
size as the original. Replacing the tire requires removal and disassembly of
the wheel.
The tires on your MBx11 were designed to provide a good combination of
traction, handling, braking, durability and comfort across a wide range of
riding conditions. If you replace a tire be sure to always use the proper type
and size that is specified in the chart below.

WHEEL RIMS
TIRE AIR PRESSURE
Your mini bike is equipped with steel rims.
These rims are very durable, but can become
bent or dented when the tires are not inflated
properly and large objects like rocks, roots or
pavement edges are hit at speed. You should
inspect the wheels before each ride to be sure
the tires are properly inflated to 10-15 PSI so
that they will roll properly and protect the rims.
If you notice that a rim is bent or dented, please
refer to your local Motovox Service Center for
assistance in replacing the rim.
Never ride the mini bike with a dented or bent rim. The tire may
suddenly lose pressure causing an accident in which you could be seriously
injured or killed. Refer to your local Service Center for assistance.
Properly inflated tires will provide you with the best combination of good
handling, tread life and riding comfort. Under inflated tires will cause uneven
tread wear and adversely affect handling. And they are more likely to cause
wheel damage on rocky or rough terrain. Tires will lose air naturally over time
and should be checked before each ride.
Over inflated tires will cause the mini bike to ride harshly and will not have as
much traction as properly inflated tires.
Using tires that are excessively worn or improperly inflated can
cause an accident in which you could be seriously injured or killed. Refer to
the chart below for proper inflation and tire checking information.
