MAINTENANCE
CLEANING/ADJUSTING DRIVE CHAIN
The drive chain should be cleaned, lubricated, and inspected
every time you ride the mini bike.
WARNING:
Always inspect the drive chain tension before you ride the
mini bike. Too much slack could allow the drive chain to
come off the sprockets, which could cause an accident
resulting in serious personal injury or cause serious dam-
age to the mini bike.
Cleaning the drive chain:
Wash the drive chain with an approved chain cleaner.
Dry the chain, then lubricate with chain lubricant or the
equivalent.
Adjusting the drive chain:
For proper performance, the drive chain should never have
more than 0.5-0.75 in. (15-20 mm) slack.
NOTE: The chain should be replaced when it reaches its
maximum adjusting limit.
To adjust:
Loosen the rear axle bolt.
Turn the chain adjusting nuts on the left and right sides
to adjust the tension of the chain.
Retighten rear axle bolt. Torque to 37-44 ft. lbs. (50-
60 Nm).
CLUTCH MAINTENANCE
After every 5 hours of use, your clutch will need cleaning and
lubrication. If the clutch becomes too dirty or lacks lubrication,
the clutch will begin to stick, which could cause the mini bike
to move without the throttle being applied.
WARNING:
Failure to perform the clutch maintenance described
below can result in unintended movement of the mini bike
and cause serious personal injury.
To clean and lubricate the clutch:
Turn engine off and allow to cool completely.
Blow through holes in clutch drum using compressed air
to remove any dust and/or particles.
Locate the snap ring on the sprocket at the end of the
clutch. Add a few drops of 30W motor oil in the opening
between the snap ring ends to allow the oil to reach the
bushing located behind the snap ring. Do not allow oil to
get inside the clutch itself.
Push mini bike forward without starting to allow oil to flow
through bearing surface.
