This section will cover basic braking technique for your mini bike. To slow
or stop the bike, squeeze the brake lever firmly and smoothly. Gradually
increase your braking pressure as you feel it is needed. The more pressure
you apply to the brake, the more braking power will be applied. When you
come to a full stop, put your feet on the ground first to avoid tipping over.
Remember that your minibike has a rear brake only, which is more than
adequate for a mini bike of this size. Always think ahead and allow yourself
enough room to stop safely. Just be careful to apply braking carefully to
avoid sending the bike into a skid which will cause you to lose control.
If you apply the brakes too quickly and start to skid, release the brake to
regain control and then apply braking power carefully.
When riding on wet, or loose rocky conditions your braking power can be
reduced greatly and it will be much easier to put the bike into a skid and lose
control. If the surface is wet or loose, you must reduce your speed and allow
more room to stop safely.
Avoid jamming on the brake suddenly or accelerating too quickly as either
of these actions can cause you to lose control of the mini bike.
With the mini bike stopped, switch it off with the kill switch, flip down the
kickstand and lean the bike over on it to park. Position and turn the fuel valve
to OFF. Always park your mini bike on a flat surface to avoid tipping over.
If you are going to store the mini bike for an extended period of time, close
the fuel valve with the engine still running until it stops. This will burn all the
fuel out of the carburetor and reduce fuel system problems in the future.
Keeping your mini bike in perfect operating condition is absolutely essential
to your safety. It is also the best way to protect your investment, get maximum
performance, avoid breakdowns and have more fun. To help keep your mini
bike well maintained, the maintenance schedule following will provide you
valuable information that will help you keep your mini bike in excellent and
safe operating condition and avoid injury.
The service intervals in this section are based on average riding conditions.
More frequent service is needed if you subject your mini bike to severe use,
such as competition or riding in unusually wet or dusty conditions.
Improper maintenance of this mini bike or failing to correct a
problem before you ride can cause a crash in which you could be seriously
injured or killed. Always follow the inspection and maintenance recommen-
dations and schedules in this manual.
Remember, proper maintenance of your minibike is the responsibility of the
owner and failure to do so can cause your warranty to be void.
Note to parents: As a parent it is up to you to make sure the mini bike is properly
maintained and in safe operating condition. For youngsters, learning how to take
care of a mini bike and perform basic maintenance can be an important part
of their riding experience. However, if you allow a youngster to perform or assist
in any maintenance task, such as filling the fuel tank, you need to provide close
supervision to make sure the task is performed safely.
Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or repairs.
This will help eliminate the following hazards:
1. Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust.
Be sure
you have good ventilation whenever you have the mini bike running.
2. Burns from hot engine parts.
Let the engine and exhaust cool
before you touch them.
3. Injury from moving parts.
Do not work on the engine while run-
ning unless instructed by this manual to do so.
Be sure you have all the tools needed and understand the procedure before
starting. Always be careful around gasoline. Keep flames and sparks away.
