Embark on worry-free rides with your FatCat Mini Bike! Unlike other bikes on the market, FatCats are designed with simplicity in mind, making maintenance a breeze.
We've got your back! FatCats are designed to be user-friendly when it comes to routine upkeep. We totally get that not everyone is a grease monkey, so fear not! In our Facebook Owners Group, we've compiled a treasure trove of 'how-to' guides to walk you through the nitty-gritty of maintenance tasks (request to join if you haven't already!). Plus, the trusty old owner's manual covers all the regular maintenance stuff, making it a handy reference.If you'd rather let the pros handle it, that's cool too! Small engine mechanics are usually more than capable of taking care of tasks like changing the oil or giving the carburetor a good clean. So, there's always help available if you need it.
Let's dive in to more info!Keeping your FatCat in tiptop shape is a breeze with these simple pre-ride checks:
- Ensure proper tyre inflation.
- Check oil and fuel levels.
- Give the chain some love with cleaning and lubrication.
- Verify chain tension and make adjustments if needed.
Our engines come ready to roll, but consider an oil change after the initial rides using genuine Honda 10W-30 API SJ oil, available at your local Bunnings.
Before You Hit the Trails: Assembly Tips for Maximum Fun
Safety Cautions:
- Route cables and brake lines carefully to avoid interference with steering.
- Secure the rear brake line to prevent catching on the front mud guard.
- Double-check the engine oil level, ignoring any assembly instructions suggesting to fill it.
- A low oil sensor prevents starting with insufficient oil or when on a lean.
- Adjust the throttle limiting screw under the air filter housing as desired.
- Always check tyre pressure before riding (10psi minimum, up to 15psi fine).
- Lubricate the chain before use; motorcycle chain lube, gear oil, or engine oil works.
CVT Maintenance: Refer to the owner's manual for CVT maintenance info.
