Cool Stunts
• When driving at a medium or high
speed, the motorcycle may raise
the front tire off the ground if you
drive on a surface that has small
bumps or obstacles.
• To fish tail the motorcycle, start
making a turn at a low speed. Then,
immediately change the direction of
the turn and increase the speed.
• You can perform jumps with your
motorcycle off ramps eight inches
high or less.
Hint: When transporting your motorcycle, do not pick it up by the driver’s head. Use both hands to support
the motorcycle, one underneath the motorcycle and the other on the rear of the seat.
Adjusting the Trim Controls
Adjust the trim controls to make the motorcycle drive properly.
Throttle Trim
• Place your motorcycle on the display stand so the rear wheel does not
touch the ground.

If your motorcycle does not drive in a straight line, turn the TRIM VOL ST left
or right until your motorcycle moves in a straight line. Release the steering
wheel before you make the adjustment.
Battery Notes
Replacing the Parts
Driving Tips
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended
type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries
(standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries
of different capacities.
• If you do not plan to use the motorcycle for several days, remove
the batteries from the transmitter and motorcycle. Batteries can
leak chemicals that may destroy electronic parts.
• When the transmitter’s range decreases, replace the battery.
Alkaline batteries, rechargeable battery packs and battery pack
chargers are available at your local RadioShack store.
• Before you can use a 7.2V battery pack, you must charge it using
a special battery charger. You can purchase the
battery charger from your local RadioShack store. Do not charge
or recharge the battery pack while it is in the
motorcycle.
• If your motorcycle runs slowly or does not move at all, recharge
the battery pack and/or replace the AA batteries.
• Overcharging the battery pack could damage it. After
charging or recharging the battery pack, disconnect it from the
charger.
• Never leave dead or weak batteries in your motorcycle or transmitter.
• Dispose of batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury
them.
Care and Use
• For the safest driving conditions, find a large area with no
traffic.
• It is best to drive on pavement during your first outing. Move to
a different terrain once you get comfortable driving on a smooth
surface.
• If you jump the motorcyle off ramps higher than eight inches,
you could damage it.
• A full speed impact to the front of the motorcycle may cause
damage to the motorcycle.
• Keep your motorcycle dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
• Use and store your motorcycle in room temperature
environments only.
• Handle your motorcycle gently and carefully. Do not drop it.
• Keep your motorcycle away from dust and dirt.
• Wipe your motorcycle with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it
looking new.
• Do not drive your motorcycle in the street, through puddles, in
rain, sand or snow. Doing so can damage your motorcycle.
• If your motorcycle gets stuck under an object, immediately turn
the transmitter off and retrieve the vehicle.
• Your motorcycle can reach higher speeds than most radiocontrolled cars. Avoid high-impact collisions with people and
objects.
• If your motorcycle is not performing as it should, take it to your
local RadioShack store for assistance. Modifying or
tampering with the your motorcycle’s internal components can
cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void
your FCC authorization to operate it.

Racing Motorcycles Together
Your Honda RC Motorcycle uses specific frequencies to operate. Motorcycles with different frequencies can race
together; however, motorcycles with the same frequency cannot. The following chart shows the frequencies available
for this motorcycle. If you buy more than one motorcycle and you plan to race them, be sure the sticker (showing the
band number) on each motorcycle is a different color to ensure they use different frequencies.

The FCC Wants You to Know
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult your local RadioShack store or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop using your radio-controlled vehicle.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by RadioShack may cause interference and void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

• Your motorcycle runs well on hard, packed dirt, short grass and
asphalt. Do not drive it on tile or carpet.
• The Gyros stabilizer helps your motorcycle stay upright, just like
a real motorcycle. If your motorcycle falls during driving, rotate
the steering wheel in one direction and pull the trigger
simultaneously. Then, rotate the steering wheel in the opposite
direction. Release the steering once the motorcycle is upright
again.
• When you want to stop, it is best to turn the motorcycle into a
skid while applying the brake.
• The size of your turn depends on the speed of the motorcycle.
For large turns, increase your speed before turning the steering
wheel. For smaller turns, slow down before turning.
• If your motorcycle wobbles during driving, slightly rotate the
steering wheel to allow the motorcycle to stabilize and go
straight.
Helpful Hints
• Running your vehicle for long periods can generate a high heat
level, which causes wear and tear on the motor. To keep the heat
level down, rest your motorcycle for 20 minutes after every 10
minutes of continuous use.
• When your motorcycle’s battery pack runs down, let the
motorcycle cool for at least 10 minutes before you install a newly
charged battery pack.
• If your motorcycle does not respond to the transmitter, move
closer to your motorcycle and try again. Obstructions such as
fences and buildings may decrease the transmitter’s range.
• If someone uses a CB nearby, it might interfere with the
control of the motorcycle. If this happens, move the
motorcycle away from the CB. You cannot operate your motorcycle near devices with transmitters that use the same frequency as
your motorcycle. Check to see which frequency you have.
• If your motorcycle continues to run slowly after you have installed
a newly recharged battery pack and/or AA batteries, check the
wheels for lint, thread, hair and dust.
• You can order replacement parts (drive belts, wheels, and
balusters) for your motorcycle at your local RadioShack store or
visit our website at www.radioshack.com
