Practice braking on a smooth, dry surface to get used to the feel of the braking system.
Braking distance is affected by wet conditions and loose and uneven riding surfaces.
Adjusting the Brakes
The brakes on the XTR-SE should come fully adjusted from the factory. However, it
may be necessary to adjust the brakes from time to time.
To Adjust the Brakes
1. Loosen the tension screw on the BRAKE
LEVER by rotating it counter-clockwise until
the wheel spins freely.
For Further Adjustment
2. With one hand, depress the brake caliper
using your thumb and forefinger (Fig. 12).
3. With the other hand, adjust the tension
screw on the brake line.
a. Turn the tension screw clockwise to
loosen the brake.
b. Turn the tension screw counter-clockwise
to tighten the brake.
Squeaky Brakes
The brakes may squeak before they are broken in. This is normal and will not affect the
function or performance of the brakes. With continued use, the squeak should go away.
TIRES AND WHEELS
The Bladez XTR-SE uses an identical rim and tire assembly on the front and rear
wheels, which means that the tires can be rotated. The wheels are actually two wheel
halves (split rim) bolted together to make it easier to remove and replace the tire.
Tire wear will vary based on rider weight, riding conditions and care. Replacement tires
can be obtained at your local Bladez dealer, through motorcycle shops, from the Bladez
website at
H
www.ebladez.com or by calling Bladez at (866) 325-2339.
Tire Pressure
The tires should be inflated to a maximum of
60 P.S.I.
Warning:
Empty all air from the tire prior to loosening the bolts to split the rim.
