square with the front wheel (Fig. 6).

WARNING: The handlebars must not
be able to move while riding!. ALWAYS
test the handlebars before riding to
make sure they will not slip, rotate, or
are able to be forced from their desired

the allen key to release the screw (Fig.
8). Once the throttle is correctly adjusted,
fasten the screw back on using the allen

BRAKE ADJUSTMENT:
IMPORTANT! Inspect and check the
adjustment of the hand brake before
attempting to ride on your MINIMOTO™
MOTOCROSS BIKE.
Minor Brake
adjustment
The brakes will
need to be
adjusted over
time. Tightening
or loosening the
brake adjustment knob can
obtain minor
brake adjustments. This
knob is located
next to the hand
brake. To do this
adjustment,
loosen the nut
and turn the conical shaped knob to adjust
the brake (Fig. 9). Retighten the knob
with the nut when the appropriate feel of
the brake is found (Fig. 10).
Major Brake adjustment
If the brakes
need a more
drastic adjustment, use the
wrench to
loosen the nut
that connects
the cable to the
rear wheel (Fig.
11)
. When the
nut is loosened,
pull the brake
cable tight until
there is no
slack in the
cable. Retighten
the nut securely
(Fig. 12) and
check the
brak
es again before riding.
IMPORTANT!
In the event of extraordinary heat or temporary malfunction of the brake after a prolonged or aggressive use, stop riding the
bike immediately. Call the Minimoto
Customer Service Center at the Toll-free
number before further use.
