OPERATION

PRE- RIDE INSPECTION

Before each ride it is important to inspect your dirt bike.  Make sure any 

problems found are corrected before starting engine.   A pre-ride inspection is 

a must for off-road riding because off road riding can provide excessive wear 

and tear on components.

        Use a tire gauge to check the air pressure   Adjust air pressure if needed.    

Look for signs of damage or excessive wear.

        Check nuts and bolts for tightness.  Refer to proper Torque specifications 

located on page 25.

sure it moves smoothly without sticking, and snaps back automatically  when 

released, in all steering positions.  

Brakes:

        Squeeze front brake lever and step on the rear brake pedal to check that 

the controls operate normally.   Adjust free play, if necessary.
