Adjusting the Brakes
The Brakes on the X-140 should come fully adjusted from the factory.
However, it may be necessary to adjust the brakes from time to time.
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 use the
squeak should go away.

The X-Treme X-140 used different rim and tire assemblies on the front and
rear wheels. Front wheel is a hard rubber wheel. The back wheel is a hard
rosin wheel.
Tire wear will differ based on rider weight, riding conditions and care.
Replacement tires can be obtained at your local X-Treme dealer, through
