Bedding-In Brakes
The car comes fitted with carbon metallic brake pads. To bed in the brakes and achieve maximum
stopping power, a film of carbon must be transferred to the discs
Gently apply brakes 6 to 8 times at medium speed. Increase speed to simulate race conditions, and
apply brakes hard a further 6 to 8 times.
Allow brakes to cool for 15 minutes. Do not apply brakes whilst stationary during cooling down period.
Use only Radical recommended brake pads.
Fuel
Standard Powertec Kawasaki 1200 and Powertec Suzuki 1300 engines may run on 95 octane regular
fuel. Tuned Powertec Suzuki 1300, 1400 & 1500 engines should only be run on Super Unleaded 98
octane, or 100 octane race fuel.
Tuned engines in the USA should only be run on racing fuel such as cam2, or a minimum of 108
octane. We do NOT recommend mixing octane boosters with pump fuel.
Recommendation
The fuel filter should be changed after the cars initial outing. It is located to the right-hand side of the
engine, under the top chassis rail.
