Fuel recommendation:
Any clean unleaded gasoline with a pump rat-
ing of 86 octane or higher. Octane rating will be displayed on the gas pump
where you purchase it. Motovox recommends the use of 92 octane or higher
to get the maximum performance from your mini bike. This engine is not
designed to use E-85 Ethonal Blended Fuels.
Use of lower octane gasoline can cause pre-detonation or “pinging” under
heavy acceleration. A small amount of occassional pinging is nothing to be
alarmed about, but severe pinging can cause engine damage. If you tend to
experience pinging under normal loads, switch to a higher octane gasoline.
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline, or gasoline that has been mixed
with oil. Avoid getting dust, dirt or moisture in your fuel tank.
1. Twist the fuel tank cap counter clockwise to remove from the tank.
2. Using a funnel, add fuel to the tank until the level reaches about 2 inches
from the top. Be careful not to over fill and spill fuel.
3. Replace the cap by screwing on in a clockwise direction until you feel
it seat firmly.
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You can be burned
and seriously injured when handling gasoline. Always stop the engine.
Only handle gasoline outdoors. Clean up spills immediately.
IMPORTANT!
The motor oil that comes in your MBx10 is break-in oil and
should be changed after the first two hours of riding. Be sure to check the
level before you start the engine for the first time to be sure it is correct.
Engine Oil Recommendation:
SAE 10W-30 Motor Oil which is good
for most climates. See your Motovox Service Center to inquire about oil
recommendations for extreme temperatures and conditions.
Your mini bike does not need oil additives. Use only clean, fresh
recommended weight oil. Do not use oils with graphite or molybdenum
additives or oils that display the API circular logo that is labeled “energy
conserving” as they may adversely affect the performance of your engine.
1. Park the mini bike on a firm level surface.
2. Clean around the oil fill cap and surrounding surfaces.
3. Unscrew the oil fill cap and wipe the dipstick portion clean.
4. Reinsert the oil fill cap but DO NOT SCREW IT IN.
5. Remove the oil fill cap check the oil level. If the level is at or near the high
mark you do not need to add oil. If it is at or below the low mark you need to
add enough oil to bring it up to the recommended level. NO NOT OVERFILL.
1. Park the mini bike on a firm level surface.
2. Clean around the oil fill cap, drain plug and surrounding surfaces.
3. Place an oil drain pan under the engine.
4. Unscrew and remove the oil drain plug to let the oil drain into the pan.
5. Once oil has drained, replace the drain plug and tighten to 140-160 inch/lbs.
6. Remove the oil fill cap.
7. Using a funnel, pour in the .31 (one third of a quart) of 10W-30 motor oil.
8. Reinsert the oil fill cap but DO NOT SCREW IT IN.
9. Remove the oil fill cap check the oil level. NO NOT OVERFILL.
10. Check for any leaks.
11. Dispose of used oil in approved manner.
Proper air filter care is extremely important for any engine, and your mini
bike is no exception. The air filter keep impurities like dust and dirt out of the
engine, and a clogged filter can seriously affect the performance and extend
the life of your mini bike engine.
Your air filter is located on the back of the engine in a square, plastic case.
To check and clean or replace your air filter, just unclip the clips that hold the
air filter case to the housing, and remove the foam filter element. Wearing
rubber gloves and eye protection, clean it with mineral spirits, taking care to
not damage the element itself. Soak the element in motor oil and squeeze
out the excess oil. Reinstall the element and replace the cover.
