WARINING<br />
Improper removal of the spring from the rear shock absorber body<br />
may cause the spring and associated parts to be ejected at high<br />
velocity. Always wear eye and face protection. Removal and installation<br />
of spring should be performed by an person or company.<br />
WHEELS<br />
Tires<br />
- Tire pressure affects traction, handling, and tire life.<br />
- Adjust the tire pressure to suit track conditions and rider preference,<br />
but do not stray too far from the recommended pressure.<br />
NOTE<br />
Tire pressure should be checked when the tires are cold before<br />
you ride.<br />
Track condition<br />
- When the track is wet, muddy, sandy or slippery, reduce the tire<br />
pressure.<br />
- When the track is pebbly or hard, increase the tire pressure.<br />
Spokes and Rim<br />
The spokes on both wheels must all be tightened securely and evenly<br />
and not be allowed to loosen. Unevenly tightened or loose spokes<br />
will cause the rim to warp, hasten nipple and overall spoke fatigue,<br />
and may result in spoke breakage.<br />

Tire bead lock (clamp)<br />
(A). Llave tensador radios<br />
(A). Spoke Wrench<br />
There is a lock (clamp) on the front and rear wheels. The bead lock<br />
(clamp) prevents the tire and tube from slipping on the rim and<br />
damaging the valve stem. Valve stem damage may cause the tube<br />
to leak, necessitating tube replacement. In order that the tire and<br />
tube remain fixed in position on the rim, inspect the bead lock (clamp)<br />
before riding and tighten it if necessary. Tighten the valve stem nut<br />
finger tight only.<br />
NOTE<br />
The weld joint area of the rim may show excessive runout.<br />
Disregard this when measuring runout.
