Basic Maintenance Procedures
If you are not able to pull your brake handle any farther and your mini-bike is still not stopping prop-
erly, you will need to adjust your rear brake so you can stop properly. Over time, your cable will
stretch and this periodic maintenance will need to be conducted.
1. Place the mini-bike on the kick stand with
the engine off.
2. Holding the brake mechanism, loosen the
adjusting nut to let the cable slide free.
3. Slide the adjusting nut and mechanism
toward the front of the bike until it stops,
then back off slightly. This positions the
brake properly so it will not clamp the disc
when the handle is released. This is called
“drag” and if it happens, it will cause extra
brake wear and reduced power.
4. Tighten the adjusting nut on the cable.
5. Carefully lift up the back of the bike without
tipping it over and see if the wheel spins
freely when the brake is not applied. If there
is drag, re-adjust nut.
6. Lower bike back to ground and apply brake lever to ensure brake engages and stops wheel
securely.
Never ride the mini bike when the brakes are not working properly. If you cannot
repair the brakes, have them serviced by your Monster Moto Dealer. DO NOT RIDE the bike.

Properly inflated tires will provide you with the best combination of handling, tread life, and riding
comfort. Generally speaking, underinflated tires will wear unevenly and adversely affect handling.
Underinflated tires are also more likely to fail from being overheated and can cause wheel damage
on rocky terrain. Overinflated tires will cause the mini bike to ride harshly, are prone to failure from
surface hazards and wear unevenly.
Using tires that are excessively worn or improperly inflated can cause a crash in
which you can be seriously hurt or killed. Follow all instructions in this owners manual regarding tire
inflation and maintenance.
Make sure the valve stem caps are secure, If needed, install a new cap. Always check air pressure
when your tires are cold. If you check the air pressure when the tires are warm, you will get higher
readings. If you let air out of warm tires to match the recommended cold tire pressure, the tires will
be underinflated. The correct cold tire pressures are listed below. If you replace the tire, follow the tire
pressure marked on the sidewall of the tire.
