Squeaky Brakes
The brakes may squeak before they are broken in. This is normal and will not affect the function or
performance of the brakes. With continued us e the squeak should go away.
ADJUSTING THE CHAINS
The chains will come adjusted from the factory. However, it may be necessary to adjust the sprockets
from time to time. The chain must be well aligned with the sprockets otherwise they may start to rub
and chafe. Which will result in shortened chain l ife.
How tight should the chain be?
■
If the chain is skipping or jumping on the pulley teeth, it is too loose and may be harmful.
■
If the chain is making a humming sound when the wheel is turning, it is to tight and may cause the
chai
n to snap.
■
The correct tension is achieved by adjusting lt1e chain from Its loose position to when it becomes
lightly tense.
To
tighten the
chains:
1.

then
slowly

the
two chain adjusting screws on each
side of the rear tire until the chain
reaches
the
proper
tension. Occasionally rotate the rear tire
