Adjusting the Brakes.
The Brakes on the XG-499 should come fully adjusted from the factory.
However, it may be necessary to adjust the brake from time to time.
Squeaky Brakes
The brakes may squeak until 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.
TIRE AND WHEELS
The X-Treme XG-499 uses an identical rim and tire 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 purchasable 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
brake.
b. Turn the tension screw
counterclockwise to tighten
brake.
