MAINTENANCE
SPARK PLUG:

Take out the spark plug.
 Pour approximately 0.5-0.68 oz. (15-20 ml) of clean engine
lubricant into the cylinder.
 Step on the kick start lever several times to distribute the
oil through the engine.
NOTE: Make sure the ignition switch is in the OFF position
before stepping down on the kick lever.
 Replace the spark plug.
TIRES:

Inflate the tires to the normal pressure.
NOTE: Tire pressure should only be measured or
adjusted when tires are cold.
Recommended Pressure
15-18 psi (103-124 kPa)
WARNING:
Check the tire pressure carefully while inflating. Too much
air in the tire could cause the tire to burst, causing serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
Maintaining correct air pressure in the tires is very impor-
tant. Too little pressure could allow the tire to rotate off
the wheel rim. Too much pressure could cause the tire to
burst. Failure to maintain correct air pressure in the tires
could cause problems with vehicle operation and stability,
causing serious personal injury.
VEHICLE:

Place the vehicle on level ground.
 Wash the vehicle.
 Spray all vinyl and rubber parts with rubber protection.
 Spray unpainted surfaces with rust preventative.
 Coat painted surfaces with car wax.
 Store the dirt bike up on wooden blocks with the two
wheels clearing the ground. Put the vehicle in a shady and
cool place free from humidity and direct sunlight. Cover it
properly (not with plastic or painted materials). If possible,
store in a garage.
PROCEDURE FOR RETURNING VEHICLE TO SERVICE:

Change engine lubricant if unit has been out of service
longer than 4 months.
 Clean the entire vehicle.
 Make sure the vehicle is properly lubricated.
 Perform the Pre-Ride Inspection as listed previously.
STORING THE DIRT BIKE
If you do not use the dirt bike for a long time, it will need
special service requiring appropriate materials, equipment,
and skill. For this reason, we recommend you trust this
maintenance work to an authorized service center. If you
wish to service the machine for storage yourself, follow the
general guidelines.
ENGINE LUBRICANT:

Change the engine lubricant.
FUEL:

Using a hand pump, drain the fuel from the fuel tank into
a container approved for gasoline.
 Loosen the carburetor drain screw to drain the fuel from
the carburetor into a container approved for gasoline.
NOTE: Used fuel should be disposed of properly at an
approved disposal site so as to not adversely affect the
environment.
WARNING:
Gasoline and its vapors are highly flammable and ex-
plosive. To prevent serious personal injury and property
damage, handle it with care. Keep away from ignition
sources and open flames, handle outdoors only, do not
smoke, and wipe up spills immediately.
