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.
TIRES
The X-Treme XB-562 uses 13” tires on the front and rear wheels. Tire wear
will differ based on rider weight, riding conditions and care. Replacement tires
can be obtained at your local X-Treme dealer, through motorcycle shops, or
from the X-Treme website at www.x-tremescooters.com
Tire Pressure
The tires must be inflated to a maximum of 36-40 P.S.I. It is also recommended
to use a tube additive like Slime, availablefrom any motorcycle shop, to avoid
inconvenient punctures.
