Tires And Wheels - X-TREME XG-550 Owner's Manual

However, it may be necessary to adjust the brake from time to time.
Squeaky Brakes
The brakes may squeak before they are broken in. This is normal and
will not affect the function or performance of the brakes. With
continued use the squeak should go away.

TIRES AND WHEELS

The X-Treme XG-550 uses an identical rim and tires assembly on the front and
rear wheels, which means that the tires can be rotated. The wheels are
actually two wheel halves (split rim) bolted together to make it easier to remove
and replace the tire and tube.
The rear wheel is fitted with a special spacer to accommodate the chain
sprocket, while the front wheel has a bracket for the disc brake.
Tire wear will differ based on rider weight, riding conditions and care.
Replacement tires can be obtained at your local X-Treme dealer, through
motorcycle shops, or from the X-Treme website at www.x-tremescooters.com
Tire Pressure
The tire must be inflated to a maximum of 50 P.S.I. It is also
recommended to use a tube additive like Slime available from any
motorcycle shop, to avoid inconvenient punctures.
Empty all air from the tire, prior to loosening the bolt to split the rim.
To adjust the brakes
1. With one hand, depress the
brake caliper using your thumb
and forefinger (Fig.12).
2. With the other hand, adjust the
tension screw on the brake line.
a. Turn the tension screw
clockwise to loosen the
