Maintenance
Thumpstar Motorbikes promote safety as paramount. As such, it is advised
that before each and every use of your bike that you actively walk around
your motorcycle and check that everything appears in order. Maintenance
should be undertaken regularly and servicing should be carried out by the
appropriate persons. Thumpstar recommend any work being carried out
on any of our range of dirt bikes should be done by an approved mechanic.
The following list has been provided for you by Thumpstar Motorbikes as
an advisory process before each ride.
FRONT AND REAR BRAKE
When checking the brakes, ensure all cables are in place and there are no
leaks. Check the braking mechanism works manually before riding. Some
brakes are adjustable for performance reasons; brake adjustments are
sensitive and in the interest of safety should only be carried out by a skilled
mechanic.

FUEL LINE AND TANK
It is important to check for any fuel leaks around the tanks and along fuel
lines. Bike engines become hot during use and therefore pose a fire risk.

OIL LEVELS
Oil Levels Should be checked prior to each usage, the “dipstick” can be
found on the right cover of the crack case, much like a car this is used to
check the oil levels, if the engine is low on oil top up to a suitable level. The
dipstick should always be replaced firmly and securely. The oil supplied
with the motorcycle is transport oil that should be changed after the first 4
hours of usage.
