PREPARING YOUR MOTORCYCLE
Warning
Proper and preventive maintenance are key to providing yourself with a safe riding. Failure to properly maintain
and inspect your Mini-Motorbike may lead to accidents, with subsequent serious injury or even death. It is
therefore important that you carry out the checks described below thoroughly before each ride to ensure your
Mini-Motorbike is in perfect working order.
Visually inspect the following components before riding your Mini-Motorbike:
Tyres Check inflating pressure using a manometer and wear thoroughly. Inflate to required pressure
as appropriate.
Rims & Spokes Check spoke tightness to prevent rim damage using a 5.5 mm YCF torque wrench.
Drive Chain it is imperative that the drive chain is adjusted before each ride to ensure safe and effective
transmission of power. Failure to maintain proper chain adjustment may result in major
engine damage.
Cables Check all control cables and housings thoroughly. Replace or tighten as appropriate.
Nuts & Bolts Check that all nuts and bolts are secure using the relevant socket wrench. Conduct both a pre-
and post-ride inspection. Tighten as appropriate.
Throttle Check the freeplay and adjust as appropriate. Check that grip rotates smoothly and returns to
closed position when released.
Brakes Pull lever and apply both the front and rear brakes to check brake operation. Lubricate as
appropriate.
Shock Absorber Check the front disc brake lever when squeezed. Sit on the Mini-Motorbike to press it down
pushing the front fork further down. Repeat to ensure that the front fork operates smoothly.
Batterie Verify that it is not leaking, not dried, and that the threads are not unsheathed to avoid short
circuit.
