RIDING INSTRUCTIONS 8
21
Preliminary work
–
Raise the motorcycle with a lift stand. ( p. 37)
The motorcycle has been out of use for more than 1 week
– Empty the carburetor float chamber.
– Turn the knurled screw on the fuel tap all the way counterclockwise.
Fuel can flow from the fuel tank to the carburetor.
The engine is cold
– Pull the choke knob up all the way to the stop and turn it by a max. ¼ turn.
– Press the kick starter lever robustly through its full range.
Info
Do not open the throttle.
Final steps
–
Remove the motorcycle from the lift stand. ( p. 37)
8.3 Starting off
Info
The plug-in stand must be removed before riding.
– Open the throttle carefully.
8.4 Riding
Info
If unusual noises occur while riding, stop immediately, switch off the engine, and contact an authorized
GASGAS Motorcycles workshop.
– If the choke function has been activated, deactivate it after the engine has warmed up.
– After reaching maximum speed by fully opening the throttle grip, turn the throttle back so it is ¾ open. This will barely
reduce the speed, but fuel consumption will be considerably lower.
– Your child should always open the throttle only as much as the engine can handle – abruptly opening the throttle
increases fuel consumption.
– Your child should switch off the engine if prolonged operation at idle speed or while stationary is imminent.
Guideline
≥ 2 min
8.5 Applying the brakes
Warning
Danger of accidents Excessively forceful application of the brakes blocks the wheels.
– Explain to your child that he or she must adapt the braking to the traffic situation and the road conditions.
Warning
Danger of accidents A spongy pressure point on the front or rear brake reduces braking efficiency.
– Check the brake system and do not allow your child to continue riding until the problem is eliminated. (Your
authorized GASGAS Motorcycles workshop will be glad to help.)
