heed these precautions.
1. Always equip your youngster with suitable protective gear and riding apparel. Be sure he or she
always wears a helmet, over-the-ankle footwear or sturdy boots, eye protection, groves, long pants,
and a lo ng -sleeved shirt while riding.
2.
Never allow your youngster to carry a passenger. This motorcycle is designed for an OPERATOR ONLY.

5.
Always obey local off-road riding laws and regulations. Obtain permission to ride on private property.
6.
You, the parent (and most likely “riding instru cto r/m echanic” as well), must be familiar with motorcycle
controls and maintenance requirements plus riding techniques. Read and understand the owner’s
manual provided with the motorcycle. Review all instructions and warnings with your youngster.
7.
You must determine your youngster’s readiness to ride this off-road motorcycle. Your youngster should
already be familiar with motorcycle co ntrols (location and function) and basic riding techniques. Your
youngster should also be physically large enough, and strong enough to be able to straddle the
motorcycle and hold it up , plus be ab le to pick up it up if it is on its side.
8.
Your youngster’s safety depends in part on the good mechanical condition of the motorcycle. Be sure to
follow the maintenance and adjustment requirements contained in the Periodic Maintenance Chart,
Daily Pre-ride Inspection, and After-Race Check Points. Be sure your youngster understands the
importance of che cking all item s thoroughly before riding the motorcycle. Also, familiarity with the
motorcycle is important should a problem occur far from help.

WARNING
Gasoline is extremely flammable and can be
explosive under certain conditions, creating
the potential for serious burns. Move the en-
gine stop switch to the
smoke. Make sure the area is well-ventilated
and free from any source of flame or sparks;
this includes any appliance with a pilot light.
Never fill the tank completely to the top. If
the tank is filled completely to the top, heat
may cause the fuel to expand and overflow
through the vents in the tank cap. After refueling, make sure the tank cap is closed securely.
If gasoline is spilled on the fuel tank, wipe it
off immediately.
Fuel Requireme
nt -
Fuel Type
Use clean, fresh unleaded gasoline with a minimum Antiknock Index of 87. The Antiknock Index is
posted on service station pumps in the U.S.A. The
octane rating of a gasoline is a measure of its resistance to detonation or “knocking”. The Antiknock
Index is an average of the Research Octane Number (RON) and the Motor Octane Number (MON) as
shown in the table below.

NOTICE
If engine “knocking” or “pinging” occurs,
use a different brand of gasoline of a higher
octane rating.
If this condition is allowed to continue it can
lead to severe engine damage.
Gasoline quality is important. Fuels of low
quality or not meeting standard industry
specifications may result in unsatisfactory
performance. Operating problems that result
from the use of poor quality or nonrecommended fuel may not be covered under your
warranty.
Fuels Containing Oxygenates
Gasoline frequently contains oxygenates (alco-
ls and ethers) especially in areas of the U.S. and
ho
Canada which are required to sell such reformulated fuels as part of a strategy to reduce exhaust
issions.
