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.
● Always use a seat tightener. One on the left
hand side and one on the right hand side give
an optimal performance on almost all types of
tracks.
5.5 - Adjustment of the brake distributor

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 kart 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.
