GET YOUR FATCAT READY TO RIDE
Your FatCat arrives mostly assembled, but there are a few final jobs to do before you can fire it up and hit the dirt.
Everything you need to get your FC-212 set up properly is here, including the owner’s manual, assembly guide and step-by-step videos.
BEFORE YOU GET STARTED
Your FatCat arrives securely packed in its shipping crate and requires some final assembly before it’s ready to ride.
This includes fitting and setting up components removed for transport.
Take your time with the assembly and follow the instructions carefully. If you’re not confident doing the work yourself, get help from someone with the appropriate mechanical experience.

This is the one to keep handy.
Your FC-212 Owner’s Manual covers important safety information, operation, setup, maintenance, specifications and troubleshooting for your FatCat.

Take your time, follow each step in order and don’t rush the final checks.
BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE
Once your FatCat is assembled, give the whole bike a proper check before starting it up.
Engine oil
Check the engine oil level before riding. The FC-212 uses SAE 10W-30 engine oil for most climates and has an oil capacity of 600 mL.
Tyres
Check both tyres are properly inflated and in good condition before riding. Set the tyre pressure to 10 psi.
Chain
Check the chain is correctly fitted, tensioned and lubricated before riding.
Brakes
Check both the front and rear brakes are operating correctly before you ride.
Controls and cables
Make sure your throttle, brake controls and cables are operating freely and nothing is catching, twisted or incorrectly routed.
Final check
Give the bike a good once-over for anything loose, damaged or out of place before starting the engine.
ONCE YOU’RE UP AND RUNNING
A little maintenance goes a long way.
Check your FatCat before every ride and stay on top of the basics like oil, tyre pressure, chain condition, brakes and fasteners.
We’ve put all the regular maintenance information in one place so you don’t have to go digging for it.
