Hi All, first, my apologies (yes I have tried the search function to no avail)
I recall seeing on this site, a while back, a specific thread targeted towards new bike owners and first time riders.
I have the DOHC Maxim, I'm familiar with how to find the service manual on this site, but the one thread I can't seem to locate again is the one that has info on the basics for safety and things to check periodically (start of the season, before storage, before each ride, etc).
Any help or someone linking me to the right thread would be very much appreciated!
The site has been a tremendous help so far.
Using some of the knowledge I've picked up on this site, I was able to strip a 50cc pocket bike down to a rolling chasis today, with my son, and completely disassemble the engine and then rebuild it back, including a carb clean, and get it running! Had a blast in just a few hours with my son. (not a technical full strip down.. but we took the exhaust off, cylinder off, and many many more pieces.)
Thanks!
