Safety Warnings
[warning icon] This owner's manual contains important information. Each rider must read this manual thoroughly before riding for the first time and must always follow all instructions. The manual must remain with the vehicle if transferred to a new owner. If a minor operates the vehicle, the guardian is responsible for ensuring the minor understands the information.
XtremePowerUS reserves the right to make product changes without notice. Riders are responsible for complying with all laws, rules, and regulations governing vehicle operation, which vary by jurisdiction. XtremePowerUS is not liable for costs to comply with laws or for damage/injury resulting from failure to follow regulations.
Vehicle Operation Laws
It is illegal to operate this off-road vehicle on public streets, roads, and highways. It is also illegal to operate under the influence of drugs or alcohol, even on private property. Other local laws may apply.
Vehicle Title & Registration Laws
You may need to title and/or register your mini bike with government agencies. You are responsible for all related costs. Keep your Certificate of Origin.
Vehicle Modification Laws
Do not modify the mini bike or attach aftermarket accessories. Modifications to the carburetor and exhaust systems are a violation of the law and subject to prosecution by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Vehicle Maintenance Laws
Always follow relevant vehicle maintenance laws, including those for handling and disposal of flammable materials like gasoline and oil.
[warning icon] Age Restriction: Never allow children under 16 to ride. The mini bike is designed for riders 16 or older.
[warning icon] Supervision: Never allow unsupervised or unqualified minors to ride. The rider's guardian is responsible for ensuring the rider meets necessary physical/developmental levels and for supervising the minor.
[warning icon] Protective Gear: Always wear protective safety gear, including a DOT-approved full-face motorcycle helmet with a chin strap, goggles, boots, gloves, long riding pants with hip/knee pads, and a long-sleeved riding jersey with elbow/chest/shoulder pads.
[warning icon] Hair Security: Always secure hair while riding. Loose hair can get caught in the mini bike.
[warning icon] Alcohol/Drug Use: Never operate the bike under the influence of alcohol or drugs, as this impairs the rider's ability to operate safely.
[warning icon] Passenger: Never operate the mini bike with a passenger. It is designed for one rider.
[warning icon] Riding Surfaces: Never ride on hard surfaces like concrete or asphalt. The tires are designed for dirt, gravel, or similar materials.
[warning icon] Riding Alone: Never ride alone. Always ride near your base and others who can provide assistance.
[warning icon] Riding Condition: Never ride if the bike is not in proper condition. Inspect it before each ride. Stop immediately if it's not running correctly.

[warning icon] Ventilation: Never operate in an enclosed space with poor ventilation. Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide, which can cause illness or death.

Assembly
Package Contents
Your motorcycle comes with the following items in the box:
- Motorcycle
- Tool Kit
- Product Handbook
Getting Started: Assembling
- Open the carton and take out the motorcycle.
- Set up the handlebar. Take out the aluminum block from the tool bag. Position the handlebar in a comfortable position and tighten the bolts.
Images show parts for handlebar assembly and the process of attaching the handlebar.
Fueling
This is a 4-stroke engine. Only use gasoline #90 or higher. Ensure the engine is off before fueling.
- Slowly open the GAS CAP to release any over-pressure.
- Clean the tank cap area to remove dirt and debris, ensuring none falls into the gas tank.
- After fueling, replace and tighten the GAS CAP.
Starting - Pull Start
Move at least 10 feet away from where you filled up the gas.
- Set the CHOKE LEVER to the CHOKED (UP) position.
- Pull the RECOIL STARTER briskly, holding the handle. Do not let it snap back; let it return slowly. You may want to give it a little throttle by gently squeezing the GAS LEVER.
- It may be necessary to repeat step 6 several times until the motor starts.
When starting the motorcycle for the first time, you may need to pull the starter handle multiple times.
Operation
Riding
- Make sure all exposed bolts and screws are tightened.
- Raise the kickstand to its upright position.
- Ensure the engine is running.
- Place one foot on the deck. While pushing off with the other foot, gently rotate the THROTTLE towards the rider on the right handlebar to move the motorcycle. Control speed by rotating the hand throttle.
Braking
- To brake, release the hand throttle and depress the hand brake levers on the left side of the handlebars.
Stopping/Shutting Down
- Gradually decrease engine speed to idle and turn off the kill switch on the handlebar tube to turn the engine OFF.
Note: Aggressively pulling the lever may stretch the locking spring, preventing the steering from locking. Ensure handlebar locks firmly before riding.
Carburetor Adjustment
[warning icon] Warning: Never start the engine without the complete clutch cover assembled, as the clutch could come loose and cause injuries. The carburetor is pre-adjusted at the factory, but further adjustment may be needed based on climate and altitude.
[warning icon] Warning: When the engine is idling, the motorcycle should not be moving. If it continues to move after idle speed adjustment, contact the service center.
Braking System
The motorcycle uses a rear wheel disc/caliper braking system activated by the left handlebar brake lever. Squeezing the lever activates the rear brake. Release the HAND THROTTLE GRIP when engaging the brakes.
Practice braking on a smooth, dry surface to get accustomed to the system. Braking distance is affected by wet conditions and loose/uneven surfaces.
Adjusting the Brakes
Brakes are typically fully adjusted from the factory, but may require adjustment over time.
- With one hand, depress the brake caliper using your thumb and forefinger.
- With the other hand, adjust the tension screw on the brake line:
- Turn the tension screw clockwise to loosen the brake.
- Turn the tension screw counterclockwise to tighten the brake.
Chain Maintenance
Squeaky Brakes
Brakes may squeak before they are broken in; this is normal and does not affect function. The squeak should disappear with continued use.
Adjusting the Chains
Chains come adjusted from the factory but may need sprocket adjustment over time. The chain must be well-aligned with the sprockets to prevent rubbing and chafing, which shortens chain life.
How tight should the chain be?
- If the chain is skipping or jumping on the pulley teeth, it is too loose.
- If the chain makes a humming sound when the wheel turns, it is too tight and may snap.
Correct tension is achieved when the chain is lightly tense.
To tighten the chains:
- Slightly loosen the two axle bolts.
- Slowly adjust the two chain adjusting screws on each side of the rear tire until the chain reaches proper tension.
- Occasionally rotate the rear tire to ensure chain alignment.
- Lock and tighten the rear axle bolts before riding.
Maintenance Schedule
Proper care ensures optimal performance and a longer lifespan. The following are maintenance suggestions:
Daily Maintenance
Perform each time you ride your motorcycle:
- Clean the exterior of the unit with a soft, damp rag.
- Check that all nuts and bolts are securely tightened.
Weekly/Monthly Maintenance
- Check the pull starter, especially the cord and return spring.
- Remove the spark plug, check the electrode gap, and adjust it to 0.6mm or change the spark plug.
- Clean the cooling fins on the cylinder head and check that the air intake at the starter is not clogged.
- Clean the air filter.
Gas Pocket Starting Procedure
To start the motor, three things are needed:
- Gas
- A spark
- Cylinder compression
- Put gas in the tank. Using an approved container, add at least a ½ gallon of gas.
- Move the choke lever to the "on" (up) position (ensure fuel line is free of air).
- Pull the recoil starter; the choke should be up to start a cold engine.
When starting for the first time, open the throttle a couple of times to get gas flowing into the carburetor and jets. Do not over-pump, as it may flood the engine (wait 10 minutes to restart if flooded). After the engine "pops," give it a little throttle and allow it to idle until warm. After warming up, turn off the choke, ride off slowly, and check tire inflation and all systems.
