Squeaky Brakes
The brakes may squeak before they are driven 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 XG-565 Gas Scooter uses an identical rim and tire assembly for the front and rear
wheel, which means the tires can be rotated. The wheels are actually two wheel halves
(split rim) bolted together to make is easier to remove and replace the tire and tube.
Always make sure that the tire is deflated before opening the bolts.
The rear wheel is fitted with a special spacer to accommodate the belt pulleys, while the
front wheel has a brake for the disc brake.
Tire war will differ based on rider weight, riding conditions and care. Replacement tires
can be obtained by visiting the X-Treme Website or contacting a representative by phone.
Tire Pressure
The tire must be inflated to a maximum of 2.5 Bar. It is also recommended to use a tube
additive like Slime® which can be purchased at any motorcycle shop to avoid inconvenient
punctures. Empty all the air from the tire, prior to loosening the bolt to split the rim.
ADJUSTING THE HEAD UNIT – (STEERING TUBE)
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.
1.) Loosen (a) and remove the long bolt (b) shown in Fig. 13.
2.) Rotate the complete front wheel and fork assembly upwards so
that the large bearing lock nuts are accessible (Fig. 14).
3.) Using 2 large adjustable wrenches, loosen both nuts (Fig. 15).
4.) Tighten the nut closest to the bearing to the desired tightness.
The handlebar should still be able to turn freely however with no
backwards and forwards free play.
5.) Then securing the 1
st
nut, tighten the 2
nd
nut against the first
insuring it is locked securely.
6.) Lower complete wheel and fork assembly and place bolt and
brushes in same order as disassembled.
7.) Ensure that top and bottom bolts are tightened.
