WARNING:
Never ride your dirt bike on a frozen lake or river. Serious
injury or death could occur if the ice breaks.
FUELING/REFUELING THE DIRT BIKE
WARNING:
Gasoline and its vapors are highly flammable and ex-
plosive. To prevent serious personal injury and property
damage, handle it with care. Keep away from ignition
sources and open flames, handle outdoors only, do not
smoke, and wipe up spills immediately.
WARNING:
Improper fueling of the dirt bike could be hazardous.
Failing to follow safety precautions when refueling could
result in a fire or explosion or let you breathe toxic fumes,
causing serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Always shut off engine before fueling. Never add fuel to
a dirt bike with a running or hot engine. Do not smoke or
allow flame or spark in the vicinity while the unit is being
refueled. Always work in a well-ventilated area. Move
at least 30 ft. (9,1 m) from refueling site before starting
engine. Improper handling of fuel could result in serious
personal injury.
Clean surface around fuel cap to prevent contamination.
Slowly turn the fuel tank cap counterclockwise and
remove.
WARNING:
If a whistling sound is heard when loosening the fuel tank
cap, have the vehicle inspected and repaired before con-
tinued operation. Failure to do so could cause the fuel to
overheat, resulting in a fire or explosion causing serious
personal injury.
OPERATION
WARNING:
Always use the size and type of tires specified in this
Operator’s Manual. Always maintain proper tire pressure
as described in the
Maintenance
section of this manual
and on the unit. Operating this dirt bike with improper
tires, or improper tire air pressure, could be hazardous.
If you use improper tires or improper air pressure, you
may lose control of the dirt bike and cause an accident,
which could result in serious personal injury.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE RIDING
Before riding, you should read carefully and understand all
the following information, in addition to being thoroughly
familiar with the
Rules for Safe Operation
in the front of this
manual. If you are properly prepared, you will have a more
enjoyable ride.
Before riding, you should find a flat, open area with enough
space to practice the skills.
WARNING:
The risk of an accident is greatly increased if the opera
-
tor does not know how to operate the dirt bike properly
in different situations and on different types of terrain.
Beginning and inexperienced operators should complete
the certified training courses offered by the Motorcycle
Safety Foundation (www.msf-usa.org). They should then
regularly practice the skills learned in the course and the
operating techniques described in the Operator’s Manual.
Failure to follow safe and proper operating techniques
could result in serious personal injury.
For more information on dirt bike safety, contact Baja Motor-
sports at 1-866-260-8630.
Do not operate the dirt bike indoors where there is little or
no ventilation. Breathing in exhaust gasses from the dirt bike
could cause severe injury or death. Always run your dirt bike
outdoors where there is fresh air.
Make sure it is legal to ride in the area you selected; comply
with all laws and make sure you are not trespassing. Call the
police if you don’t know where you can ride.
Protect your riding areas. When you are riding, remember
to keep the terrain in good condition. Don’t destroy plants,
trees, or other vegetation. Don’t litter and don’t bother wildlife.
With your help, your riding area can remain open for use in
the future.
After you have found a good place to practice, review the
control system on your dirt bike before riding. Learn to find
these controls without looking for them, because you will not
have time to look for them when you are riding.
NOTE:
Obtain, review, and follow all laws, acts, and regula-
tions pertaining to owning and operating an off-road vehicle.
