Tire Replacement
When the knobs loose their sharp edges, the tires have lost a lot of their
effectiveness. Don’t wait until the knobs are worn down to rubber stubs.
A good rule is to replace both tires at the same time, and keep them matching
brands.
WARNING
Using tires that have been installed incorrectly could be hazardous.
The Dirt bike may have unusual handling if the tires are installed
incorrectly.
The tires are intended to rotate in a specific direction, as indicated
by the arrows on the sidewall of each tire. Install tires correctly so
they rotate in the proper direction.

VALVE INSPECTION
Refer to maintenance schedule in this owner’s manual for valve adjustment
inspection intervals.
Valve clearance should be:
Intake:
0.002 inch (0.05 mm)
Exhaust:
0.003 inch (0.076 mm)
The engine will make excess noise if the gap is too large in air valve. If gap is too
small valve operation will be hindered which could result in valve malfunction and
failure. Therefore, air valve gap must be checked periodically.
If you have the proper tools and are mechanically proficient, instructions on
adjusting the valve clearance are given in the service manual. If assistance is
needed please contact Baja Inc. to find your local service center.
