BRAKING SYSTEM
The XG-499 uses both front wheel and rear wheel disc/caliper system
activated by hand levers (on either side of the handlebar). Squeezing the
BRAKE LEVER with your left hand activates the front brake, and squeezing
the BRAKE LEVER with your right hand activates the rear brake. Make sure
to release the THROTTLE GRIP when engaging the brakes.
Practice braking on a smooth, dry surface to get used to the feel of the braking
system. Braking distance is affected by wet conditions and loose and uneven
To clean the air filter:
1. Using a Philips head screwdriver, remove
the carburetor cover by turning the cover
screw counter-clockwise. (Fig.10).
2. Remove and clean the air filter (the
spongy material on top of the air intake),
with a damp rag. (Fig.11).
3. Put the air filter back into its original
position and replace the cover.
