NOTICE
Using coolant not specified for aluminum engines
or tap/mineral water can cause corrosion.
Crankcase Breather
Service more frequently when riding in rain, at
full throttle, or after the vehicle is washed or
overturned. Service if the deposit level can be
seen in the transparent section of the drain
tube.
If the drain tube overflows, the air filter may
become contaminated with engine oil causing
poor engine performance.

Checking the Air Pressure
Visually inspect your tires and use an air
pressure gauge to measure the air pressure
before each off-road ride and whenever you
return to pavement after riding off-road. If you

only ride on pavement, check the pressure at
least once a month or any time you think the
tires look low. Always check air pressure when
your tires are cold.
If you decide to adjust the tire pressure for a
particular off-road riding condition, make
changes a little at a time.
#
Inspecting for Damage
Also inspect for any unusual bumps or bulges in
the side walls of the tires.
Inspect the tires for
cuts, slits, or cracks that
exposes fabric or
cords, or nails or other
foreign objects
embedded in the side
of the tire or the tread.
