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-COMP II uses an identical rim and tires 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 differ based on rider weight, riding conditions and care. Replacement tires
can be obtained at your local Bladez dealer, through motorcycle shops, or from the
Bladez website at
www.ebladez.com
.
Tire Pressure
It is recommended that the tires be inflated to a maximum of
60 P.S.I.
.
Remove all the air from the tire, prior to loosening the bolts to split the rim
.
ADJUSTING THE HEAD UNIT
The head unit should come adjusted from the factory. However, riding on rough terrain
and general use may cause the head unit to become loose over time. It may be
necessary to adjust the head unit from time to time.
To adjust the head unit:
1. Rotate the handle bar as far right as it will go to expose the HEAD UNIT
2. Using a large adjustable wrench, gently loosen the lower lock nut. Then tighten the
upper nut. Then tighten the lower lock nut to hold the upper nut in place.
* DO NOT over tighten as it will make it difficult to steer and may DAMAGE THE BEARINGS.
