MINI-BIKE ASSEMBLY GUIDELINES
- 13 -
NOTE:
The closed end of the spring clip should point in the
direction that the chain travels during operation.)
18. POSITION & SECURE ENGINE
❍
Carefully slide the engine forward until the chain is snug. In
doing so, do not allow the engine to slip sideways as this will
ruin the sprocket alignment. (If the sprockets sneak out of
alignment, leave the engine in its forward, chain-snug posi-
tion, unlock the clutch and realign.)
❍
After the engine is in its forward, chain-snug position and the
clutch and rear sprockets are aligned, torque down tightly the
Locknuts on all engine mounting bolts.
19. INSTALL DUMMY & TWIST GRIPS
❍
Locate the components of the Throttle Kit (Item 11).
❍
Twist the Dummy Grip onto the Frame’s left handle bar
(under the installed Brake Lever) as far as it will go.
❍
Slide the Twist Grip/Throttle Control all the way onto the
Frame’s right handlebar and then back it off by 1/2".
NOTE:
Adjust the Twist Grip/Throttle Control on the handle-
bar so that the attached Throttle Conduit and Cable connec-
tion point is to the front of the handlebar with the Throttle
Conduit and Cable
pointing down and slightly forward.
20. SIZE THROTTLE CABLE AND CONDUIT
❍
The 54" length of Throttle Cable housed inside the 50" length
of Throttle Cable Conduit must be sized so that they may be
properly routed from Twist Grip/Throttle Control to engine
throttle. However, accurate sizing calculations cannot be
made accurately without knowing how the Throttle Conduit
and Cable are routed and fastened, as described in Step 21,
“Install the Throttle Conduit & Cable,” and Step 22, “Fasten
Throttle Cable to Engine,” that follow, below.
❍
Review Steps 21 and 22 below to familiarize yourself with how
the Throttle Conduit and Cable will be routed and fastened to
estimate sizing and cutting.
❍
Complete your sizing calculations and cut down the Throttle
Conduit and Cable accordingly.
