5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and safe operation of your X-PRO Hawk Mini Dirt Bike.

Engine Oil:

• It is highly recommended to change the engine oil before the first use. The factory oil may not be of optimal quality or sufficient quantity.
• Use 10W-40 4-stroke small engine oil.
• Change the engine oil every 10 hours of run time. This is a simple procedure that requires minimal oil.

Chain Alignment:

• Ensure the chain is properly aligned and tensioned. Improper alignment can lead to the chain slipping off during operation.
• If the chain repeatedly slips, inspect the sprocket alignment and adjust as necessary. This may require some mechanical inclination.

General Checks:

• Regularly check and tighten all nuts and bolts. Vibrations from riding can cause them to loosen over time.
• Inspect tires for wear and proper inflation.
• Keep the bike clean, especially after riding in muddy or dusty conditions.

6. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your dirt bike.

Engine Not Starting:

• Verify the kill switch is in the 'ON' position.
• Ensure the key is fully inserted and turned to the 'ON' position.
• Check the fuel level and ensure the fuel valve is open.
• Confirm the air choke is set correctly for starting (usually closed when cold, open when warm).

Chain Slipping:

• This is often due to improper chain alignment or tension. Adjust the rear wheel axle to ensure the chain is taut and aligned with the sprockets.
• Inspect the chain and sprockets for excessive wear or damage. Replace if necessary.

Oil Leakage:

• Check all oil seals and drain plugs for proper seating and tightness.
• Inspect the engine casing for any cracks or damage. If a leak persists, professional inspection may be required.
