. FIGURE OF THE YUBA BODA BODA AND PARTS DESCRIPTION 6. ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENT Although your YUBA bike is 85% assembled, there are a few steps that must be completed before it is ready to ride. If you have questions or concerns about any of these steps, please see a bicycle dealer or contact YUBA toll free at 877 889-YUBA. Carefully follow the “Final Assembly Instructions” attached to your bike. Once you have completed the assembly, read the remainder of this Owner’s Manual.
Carefully remove the bicycle and all accessories from the box to avoid scratching the frame. Check the carton for loose parts before discarding. Assembly of the front wheel Take the front wheel from the box and unscrew the large nuts. Insert the front wheel into the fork, center the wheel and then tighten the nuts using a wrench. Check that the wheels are properly attached.
. KNOW HOW THE BICYCLE PERFORMS The features of your bicycle, if misused, may cause you to lose control of the bike. Before riding fast or in more difficult conditions, learn the function and performance of all the mechanisms of your bike by riding at slower speeds in a flat, empty parking lot. If you want your bicycle to perform differently, or if you have special needs that require different parts for the safe operation of your bike, consult your bicycle dealer.
. ROAD SAFETY • For your safety, always wear a helmet that meets Snell or American National Standards Institute (Ansi) Z290.4 requirements. In the event of an accident a helmet can protect you from serious injury and even death. A bicycle retailer will be happy to assist you in the selection of a helmet and other useful accessories. • Obey all traffic laws. Obey red and green lights, one-way streets, stop signs, etc. • Ride with the traffic, not against it. Ride single file in a straight line.
. OPERATING THE BIKE Operating the brake system Always keep a safe stopping distance between you and other vehicles or objects. Adjust stopping distances and braking forces to suit riding conditions. If your bike has two hand brakes, apply both brakes at the same time. Over-use, or mis-use, of a frontwheel brake, such as using only the front-wheel brake in an emergency, could cause the rear wheel to lift from the ground, which could cause you to lose control.
1. Shift the chain to the center of the front chainwheel by turning the crank forward and shifting the left twist shifter/shift lever. 2. Shift the chain to the outermost/smallest rear sprocket by turning the right twist shifter all the way away from you, or moving the right shift lever all the way towards you. 3. While turning the crank forward, rotate the right twist shifter or push the right shift lever to the next position. 4.
10. ADJUSTMENT OF HANDLEBAR AND SEAT Handlebar stem adjustment: Your handlebar’s primary function is to steer and control your bicycle, therefore proper installation, adjustment and maintenance are crucial for your enjoyment and safety. To change the handlebar height, loosen the stem expander bolt two to three turns, then tap the top of the stem handlebars to the desired height, and retighten very tightly (175-260 lb.lin or 19.8-29.4Nm). MAKE SURE THE MINIMUM INSERTION LINE IS NOT SHOWING ABOVE THE HEADSET.
11.SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE We recommend that you take your bicycle in to an authorized bicycle dealer before riding it and then once a year for maintenance so that you can enjoy your YUBA Bike for as long as possible. Maintenance of your bicycle should include the following: Maintenance service by a dealer 1. Crank set: check play, adjust and retighten if necessary. 2. Head set assembly: check play, adjust and tighten if necessary. 3.
HANDLEBAR/STEERING: On some models, the handlebar stem may be adjusted for your comfort. The bearing of the fork in the frame (headset) should rotate easily without play. Adjustment of the headset requires special tools and should be performed by a bicycle mechanic. GRIPS: Replace worn grips. Make sure they fit snugly. BRAKES: The brake levers should be easy to operate without too much play. Too much play will cause insufficient braking power.
the bicycle to a bicycle mechanic. If you detect a loose spoke or if the rim has a side play of more than 4mm, immediately have the wheel trued by a technician. Riding with loose spokes may cause the wheel to fail, resulting in serious injury or death. TIRES: Maintaining proper inflation levels of your tires ensures a smooth, efficient and safe ride. Make sure that the tires are inflated according to pressure indicated on tire sidewall.
1. Place left lever all the way forward, or twist shift all the way back, and adjust screw “H” to center derailing cage and chain over the large chainwheel. 2. Move left shift lever all the way back or twist shift all the way forward and adjust limiting screw “L” so the derailing cage and chain are centered over the smaller chainwheel. 3. Loosen the cable anchor nut and pull all slack out of the cable through the anchor bolt. Re-tighten the cable anchor bolt securely.
12.CARRYING LOADS WITH YOUR CARGO CRUISER BICYCLE Getting to know your Cargo Cruiser Bicycle Carrying a load and riding a medium-wheelbase bike both require getting accustomed to. Practice maneuvering and braking on a flat, hazard- and traffic-free street with and without a load before going out into the world. Carrying a seated passenger or heavy load involves risks, foremost of which can be decreased braking power and increased stopping distance. Always make sure you have at least two welladjusted brakes.
