5.4 - Adjustment of seat
The position of the centre of gravity has also a key
inuence on the behaviour of the kart.
One can monitor this centre of gravity by changing the
position of the seat.
This position affects the masses distribution between
front and rear axle.
It directly affects the understeering or oversteered
chassis behaviour.
Depending on your weight, your height, your riding
style, the ideal position may change a little.
Compared to the standard position (Cf. chap. 3.5),
moving the seat has the following effects:

1) Seat moved forward
● Gives more grip on the front wheels (more sliding of
the rear wheels).
● Allow to correct the front wheel axle unit imprecise,
but delays the time it is possible to accelerate into
the turn, (Rear more slippery).
2) Seat moved backwards
● Less grip on the front wheels.
● More grip on the rear wheels.
3) Seat lower
● Less grip (front and rear wheels).
● To try on very high grip conditions.
4) Seat higher
● Increases the grip.
● To be tried in wet conditions.

5.5.1 - Standard adjustment
● Turn the handle on the bottom (max on the front)
and then back to the rear of 15 “clicks”
5.5.2 - More braking power on the front brakes
● Turn the handle (1) toward anti-clockwise direction.
● The brake distributor (2) move toward the front
brake pump.
● The art will brake more with the front brakes.
5.5.3 - More braking power on the rear brakes
● Turn the handle (1) toward clockwise direction.
● The brake distributor (2) move toward the rear brake
pump.
● The kart will brake more with the rear brake.
► The brake system is a key safety item
of the kart. Regularly check all its
components.
► In case of doubt, do not drive before
xing the problem.
► Bad maintenance of the brakes can lead
to severe, even fatal injuries.
► Never repair a break system on your
own; return it to your local dealer.
