    (i.e. the side of the cylinder is warm to touch). CAUTION: Never rev an engine full throttle when it's cold or slightly warmed up. 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.

    The frame is a low carbon alloy tubing and it is important to weld it with the proper rod and heat settings set as light as possible. Cobra recommends replacing the frame with a new one if the old one becomes damaged.
  • Page 13: M2: Chain Adjustment

    Tools needed: • 530 ml (18 oz) 85W 90 gear lubricant • large flat blade screwdriver • 13 mm wrench or socket Procedure: Begin this procedure with a bike that has been ridden more than 5 minutes but less than 10 minutes. It is desired to have the engine warm enough so that the oil ‘runny’...
  • Page 14: M3: Air Filter Cleaning

    After achieving the proper adjustment retighten the two eccentric pinch bolts. CAUTION: Be sure to remove the pin from the eccentric before riding. M3: Air Filter Cleaning This Cobra Motorcycle comes with a unique air filter / air boot unit designed to facilitate motorcycle service.
  • Page 15 NOTE: The biodegradable air filter oils, greases, and cleansers work acceptably with this Cobra Motorcycle. NOTE: It is very important to keep the air filter clean and properly oiled with high quality water-resistant foam filter oil. It’s very important to oil your filter consistently each time because varied amounts of oil will change your carburetor jetting.
  • Page 16: M4: Front End

    Figure 3 Steering The unique Cobra front end will exhibit some free play from the factory and that the seals (it that’s what you want to call them) will fall out after the first ride. We have found that this causes no adverse effects and that the looseness does not get significantly worse as long as the bearings are sprayed with a spray lubricant (WD40 or similar) upon each ride.
