Tire Repair
If your tire has been punctured, repair or replace it immediately. You may repair the with a patch, but
it will never be as durable or reliable as a new tire. If you need a replacement tire, purchase genuine
Monster Moto parts or another tire the same size.
Do not attempt to replace the tire if you do not have the proper tools. Using
improper tools can result in damage to the tire or steel rim.

Basic Maintenance Procedures
The service life of your drive chain will depend on several factors including proper lubrication,
adjustment and riding style. Poor maintenance will cause premature wear and/or damage to the
drive chain and sprockets.
Before you service your drive chain, be sure you are parked on a level surface with the
engine off. It is not necessary to remove or replace the chain to perform recommended
maintenance service.
1. Check the slack in the drive chain midway between the sprockets. Move the chain with your
finger. The vertical measurement should measure between 1/4-1/2 in.
NOTICE
Excessive drive chain slack may allow the drive chain
to damage the engine cases.
2. Inspect the drive chain for the following: dam-
aged rollers, loose pins, dry or rusted links, kinked or
binding links and excessive wear. Replace
the chain if it has damaged rollers, loose pins, or
kinksthatcannot be freed. Lubricate the
drive chain if it appears dry or shows signs of rust.
Lubricate any kinked or binding links and work
them free. If the chain has damaged rollers, loose
pins or kinks that cannot be freed, follow replace-
ment procedure outlined later in the manual.
3. You should replace the drive chain once the engine is moved as far back as possible and
slack still remains. This indicates that the chain is worn beyond it’s service limit.
4. Inspect the front and rear sprockets for excessive wear or damage. Refer to the following
illustration to determine sprocket condition. If needed, replace any worn or damaged sprockets.
