CLUTCH MAINTENANCE
After every 5 hours of use, your clutch will need cleaning and
lubrication. If the clutch becomes too dirty or lacks lubrication,
the clutch will begin to stick, which could cause the mini bike
to move without the throttle being applied.
WARNING:
Failure to perform the clutch maintenance described
below can result in unintended movement of the mini bike
and cause serious personal injury.
To clean and lubricate the clutch:
Turn engine off and allow to cool completely.
Remove clutch cover.
Blow through holes in clutch cover and clutch drum using
compressed air to remove any dust and/or particles.
Locate the snap ring on the sprocket at the end of the
clutch. Add a few drops of 30W motor oil in the opening
between the snap ring ends to allow the oil to reach the
bushing located behind the snap ring. Do not allow oil to
get inside the clutch itself.
Push mini bike forward without starting to allow oil to flow
through bearing surface.
Replace clutch cover.
WARNING:
Do not start the mini bike with the clutch cover removed.
Starting the engine with the clutch cover removed could
allow you to come in contact with moving parts, causing
serious personal injury.
CLEANING
A thorough cleaning of the mini bike is a necessary part
of maintenance. It will help keep the mini bike looking and
performing at its best. Proper cleaning can also extend the
life of the mini bike.
Clean and inspect the mini bike after every ride, especially
if it is used in mud, brush, grass, water, salt water, or very
dusty conditions. The build-up of mud, brush, grass, etc.,
especially on the engine and exhaust system, can reduce
engine cooling ability, conceal damage, or increase wear of
certain parts. Remove all debris during cleaning.
The mini bike should be washed before any mud dries on
the unit. Avoid spraying or allowing water to flow over the
ignition switch, spark plug, fuel tank cap, carburetor, drive
chain, or air filter.
NOTE:
Do not use high pressure washers such as those
found at car washes. They could cause mechanical, electri
-
cal and other damage.
Hand wash the unit with mild soap or detergent and wa
-
ter. Try to thoroughly remove all dirt and debris without
excessive water pressure. Cloth rags, washing mitts, or
cleaning brushes can be used, but be careful with brushes
as they can scratch plastic or painted surfaces.
Rinse the unit thoroughly with clean water.
Dry all areas using a chamois or soft absorbent cloth or
allow the unit to air dry.
Lubricate the chain and run the engine at idling speed for
a few minutes.
Follow the procedures in
Pre-Ride Inspection
to check
the unit for any problems that may have occurred during
your last ride.
After washing your mini bike, test your brakes by riding at
a slow speed. If necessary, apply brake several times to
let the friction dry out the brake linings. Wet brakes may
not provide as much stopping power as dry brakes.
WARNING:
Operating the mini bike at high speeds when the brakes
are wet could result in serious personal injury.
