CHECKING/CLEANING AIR FILTER
The air lter element must be kept clean to provide good
engine power. If you use your vehicle under normal, low-
tension conditions, you should service the air lter at the
intervals specied. If you ride in dusty, wet, or muddy con-
ditions, you will need to inspect the air lter element much
more frequently.
NOTICE:
Always check the air lter element after riding in severe
conditions and clean or replace as needed. Operating
the mini bike with a clogged air lter could cause engine
damage.
Air lter removal and cleaning:
 Open the air lter cover.
 Remove the air lter element from the box.
 Wash the element in warm soapy water.
 Squeeze out water by pressing the element between the
palms of both hands. Do not twist or wring or the element
will develop cracks.
 Immerse the element in oil, then squeeze as before to
remove excess. The element should be damp with oil but
not soaked.
 Replace the air lter element in the box. Make sure the
element is securely in position and the air lter is properly
sealed.
 Close the air lter cover.
NOTE: Do not operate the engine without the air lter ele-
ment in place. Rapid engine wear will result.
MAINTENANCE
To change engine lubricant:
Lubricant should be changed while the engine lubricant is still
warm, but not hot. This allows the lubricant to drain quickly
and completely.
WARNING:
Do not change engine lubricant while it is hot. Accidental
contact with hot engine lubricant could result in serious
burns.
 Park vehicle on level ground and lower side stand.
 Remove oil cap/dipstick.
 Place a container underneath the oil drainage bolt to col-
lect used lubricant as it drains.
 Unscrew the oil drainage bolt and remove the bolt and
washer.
 Allow lubricant to drain completely.
 Reinstall washer and oil drainage bolt. Torque oil drainage
bolt to 14-15 ft.lbs. (19-20 Nm).
 Fill crankcase with specied lubricant as described in the
Operator’s Manual.
NOTICE:
Attempting to start the engine before it has been properly
lled with lubricant will result in equipment failure.
NOTE: Used lubricant should be disposed of at an approved
disposal site. See your local oil retailer for more information.
