This is a high performance race motorcycle. Too much application of throttle will
likely land your little racer on his or her arse. Fenders can be replaced but
bruised egos and other body parts take longer.
General Tips
1.
Always wear a helmet and other protective riding gear.
2.
Cobra recommends that you tell your child to take it easy the first couple of
minutes in practice until the engine comes up to full operating temperature.
3.
Make sure your riders' foot is not resting on the foot brake while they are
riding
.
4.
Evaluate the bikes jetting only after it has been warmed up to race
temperatures.
5.
A properly maintained machine is safer, faster, and more fun to ride.
6.
Filling your transmission with more than 8.0 oz (235ml) of lubricant may
help to transfer heat from the clutch, but be aware that this extra oil will
increase the frictional drag on the engine, thus reducing power, and will
often get purged out the crankcase vent during riding.
7.
New chains will stretch on first use. Never install a new chain prior to a
race. Always 'break' them in during practice.
8.
Your Cobra Motorcycle has a 10 digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number).
The first two digits indicate the model and the seventh indicates the model
year (MY).
a. Example, Acxxxx5xxx is a 2005 MY King.
