Tightening a pit bike

  1. Check the brake fluid levels in both the front and rear brake reservoirs, as well as the engine oil level (the required volume is approximately 900 ml).

  2. If necessary, replace the fluids. DOT4 is the preferred choice for brake fluid.

  3. Verify the torque of all bolts to ensure everything is in its proper place and securely fastened.
