Is the Mini Bike Ready to Ride?
Before each and every ride you take, it is extremely important that you inspect the mini bike and
make sure any problems you find are corrected. A pre-ride inspection is a must because off-road
riding can be very tough on the mini bike and you do not want to have a breakdown far from help.
Improperly maintaining your mini bike or failing to correct a problem before
riding can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed. Always preform a pre-ride
inspection before any ride and correct any problems.
Note to Parents: If a youngster will be preforming any of the following pre-ride inspection procedures, it is
your responsibility to provide careful supervision and make sure they are performed correctly.
Pre-ride Inspection
Check the following items before you get on the mini bike:
Tires - Use a tire pressure gauge to check the air pressure
(10-15 PSI) . Inflate or deflate as needed.
Also check for signs of damage or excessive wear.
Rims - Inspect the rim to be sure it is not bent or damaged.
Leaks - Look under the mini bike for signs of leaking fluid such as engine oil or gasoline.
Engine Oil - Check the level of engine oil and add if needed.
Fuel - Check the level of fuel in the gas tank. Add if needed. Be sure the gas cap is tightened securely.
Drive Chain - Inspect the drive chain condition and slack. Adjust and lubricate if needed. Also check
the chain tensioner for wear and replace when it is worn. For detailed instructions on drive chain
slack adjustment, see the Basic Maintenance Procedures section of this manual.
Brake Cable - Inspect the brake cable for kinks or other damage and replace if needed. Inspect all
accessible nuts and bolts. Tighten them if it is needed.
Spark Plug - Check the spark plug for looseness. Tighten if needed. Be sure the cap is fastened to the
spark plug properly.
Nuts & Bolts - Look over entire mini bike for loose nuts and bolts. Tighten if needed.
Check the following items after you get on the mini bike:
Handle Bars - Be sure mini bike steers freely and handle bars are properly secured.
Throttle - Check the throttle freeplay and adjust if needed. Rotate the throttle to be sure it moves
easily and freely. Make sure that it snaps shut automatically when you release it in all steering
positions.
Brakes - Squeeze the brake lever to be sure the brakes are working properly.
Remember, be sure to take care of any problems you find or have your Monster Moto dealer correct
it before you ride.
