CAUTION:
Cobra recommends that you tell your child to take it easy the first couple of
minutes in practice until the engine comes up to full operating temperature.
CAUTION:
Make sure your riders’ foot is not resting on the foot brake while they are riding
.
Maintenance
It is important that you adhere to this maintenance schedule so as to promote the
longevity of your Cobra Motorcycle.
Tips
1.
Cobra lubricants:
a. Cobra Clutch Milk has been specifically formulated to meet the
stringent temperature, frictional, and load requirements unique to
the high engine speeds and centrifugal clutch of the Cobra 50cc
motorcycles.
b. Cobra Two Cycle Oil exceeds the JASO FD & ISO-L-EGD
specifications, which are the worlds most stringent requirements on
lubrication, detergency, and smoke. Use only a 2-cycle oil that
meets these specifications.
2.
Filling your transmission with more than 8.0 oz (235 cc) of lubricant may
help to transfer heat from the clutch. Filling with more than 12 oz (295 cc)
will degrade performance.
3.
The cylinder base gasket has been ‘fitted’ for your engine. The code
number stamped into the engine cases will guide you to what thickness
base gasket is required during a common top end service. See the service
section of this manual to correspond a code number with a base gasket part
number.
4.
Evaluate the bikes jetting only after it has been warmed up to race
temperatures.
5.
A properly maintained machine is safer, faster, and more fun to ride.
6.
New chains will stretch on first use. Never install a new chain prior to a
race. Always ‘break’ them in during practice.
7.
Your Cobra Motorcycle has a 10 digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number).
The first two digits indicate the model and the seventh indicates the model
year (MY).
a. Example, Acxxxx7xxx is a 2007 MY ECX5.
Schedule
•
Between each ride
o
Check the air filter (clean and re-oil as necessary).
o
Insure the smooth operation of the throttle cable (throttle soundly
‘clacks’ shut).
