P. 8 — User manual V3
Before your first ride
Congratulations! You are about to
experience a unique feeling, riding an
Azteca! To ensure you have a pleasant
first ride, please make sure to follow these
simple instructions:
Read or have someone read to you this
manual’s Safety Warnings and Riding
Basics sections. Only when these
sections have been fully understood is
it recommended to go for your first ride.
 Adjust the seat, backrest, and
handlebars to the recommended
position for you. See the Adjusting your
Azteca section.
 Perform a safety check of the
equipment. See Equipment Safety check
in the following chapter.
 You’re good to go! Put your helmet on
and enjoy the ride!
To get to know how your Azteca handles
and how control components such as the
brakes and derailleurs feel, it is strongly
recommended that you choose a private
road or closed-circuit with no major
inclines or heavy vehicles.
Before each ride
EQUIPMENT SAFETY CHECK
Proceed with the following Equipment
safety check before going for a ride.
Check component attachments
• Check front wheel attachment by lifting
the front end of your Azteca and firmly
hitting down on the top of the wheel.
The wheel should not move. If the
wheel moves or slips off the fork tighten
the nuts or quick-release locking
system. See the quick-release locking
adjustment section for instructions.
• Check handlebars, seat, backrest
and all other attached systems for
unwanted movement. Tighten loose
components if needed. See the Setting
your position on your Azteca section for
instructions.
Check brake function
• Pull the brake levers with full strength
and make sure the brakes stop the
wheels from spinning efficiently.
• Brake pads should touch the brake disc
within the first third of the brake lever
stroke.
• The brake lever should not be able to
contact with the handlebar grip.
• When the brake lever is released the
wheel should be able to spin freely.
If these conditions are not met, a brake
adjustment is required. See brake
adjustment section for instructions.
