Misc Tips:
- Get cheap 14mm open-end
wrench and file it flat to fit behind chain-idle wheel for proper chain
adjustments
- Left peal has LEFT-HAND threads
- COLD STARTING- Choke is up and depress
“tickler” 8-10 times quickly. Take choke off ASAP. Pull clutch in as soon
as motor starts. Let motor warm up for at least 2 minutes.
- Gas cock has no reserve. Get a
speedo/odometer and fill tank ever 50 miles or sooner.
- ALWAYS TURN GAS COCK OFF WHEN NOT
RIDING!!!! YOU MAY FLOOD THE ENGINE.
- ALWAYS pedal to 4-5 mph and “ease” clutch
out to use motor only (NO WHEELIES..BIKE/MOTOR NOT MADE FOR THAT ABUSE).
- DON’T TAKE OFF WITH CLUTCH ONLY….. EVER!
- BREAK IN MOTOR RIGHT!!..vary throttle for
200 miles( no full-bore but for brief times) Also, best to take short
rides 10-15 minutes for first tank of gas and then let the engine cool
down. Keep it below 20mph for 200 miles and don’t let it run at idle (in
hot traffic) for more than the average light to turn.
- Careful pedaling while moving fast…don’t
let your feet slip OFF! And no 30mph corners..tires are too skinny.
- Run 7-8 OZs synthetic 2-stroke oil w/ each
gallon of gas for 200 miles…then 6 OZs/GAL
- Adjust chain only at ”tight” spot often,
or chain may come off!. Usually next to move guide roller 1/8-1/4 inch.
- Check all nuts, bolts and fasteners for
tightness before riding and often after riding.
- Get a mirror, lights, and obey the rules of
the road…and have FUN!!
