Running in
For a maximum service life of your new engine, please ob-
serve the following table for running in:
distance
(kms)
Max. Speed
(km/h)
000 - 500 35
500 - 1000 40
Brakes
A motorized two-wheel bike has a brake effort proportion-
ing of 80% on the front-wheel axle and 20% on the rear-
wheel axle. The vehicle is therefore slowed down with both
brakes at the same time in principle. Never brake only with
the rear-wheel brakes!
Tires
An inadequate air pressure decreases the service life of the
tires, reduces the driving stability and thus considerably
endangers the diving safety. Ensure a sufficient air pres-
sure and profile depth.
Tire pressure in front: ........ 2.0 bar
Tire pressure at the rear: .... 2.2 bar
It is recommended to replace the tires, if the profile depth
falls below 2 mm. Also observe the legal regulations in this
case!
Exhaust
The exhaust becomes hot during the driving operations! It
is to be noted that the vehicle is only driven with suitable
protective clothing, in order to avoid possible burnings.
ATTENTION:
• The exhaust still remains hot for some time after park-
ing of the vehicle.
• Do not touch!
Protective Clothing
For this vehicle, there is a helmet obligation all over Europe!
Only drive with helmet and adequate protective clothing!

Flex Tech X1 – USER’S GUIDE
Cleaning and Maintenance
To reliably prevent the vehicle from rusting, it is recom-
mended to thoroughly clean and let dry the vehicle after
trips in rainy weather.
•Use a shampoo for cleaning the vehicle body.
• Use a soft sponge.
• Under no circumstances use a solvent.
• Never turn a direct jet of water on the following compo-
nents:
- headlight
- switch on the steering wheel
- brake lever
- steering-wheel lock
- tire or bearing wheel hub in front
- air filter
- carburettor
- exhaust outlet
- brake drum at the rear
• After cleaning, rerinse with clear water, in order to
remove possible cleaning rests.
• Dry using a leather cloth.
• Start the engine and let it run in the idling position for
some minutes.
• In case of temperatures below the freezing point, the
freezing up of components, such as gas and brake pull
bars as well as the formation of ice on the carburettor
may cause technical troubles on the vehicle.
AFTER CLEANING:
Carry out some brake tests with extreme care at a road-
worthy location. The water on the braking area reduces
the braking power at short notice.

Flex Tech X1 – USER’S GUIDE
Carburettor, Idling Adjustments
Start the engine and warm up for about 2-3 minutes.
Set the engine speed to about 1800 revs/min by means of
an idling screw.
Air Filter
1) Dip air filter into a non-combustible oil cleaner and wash
out
2) Press out air filter element.
3) Never wring out air filter element.
4) Moisten air filter element evenly with engine oil.
5) Press out surplus engine oil.
Battery
12V 6 Ah
1) With a battery off-load voltage of below 11.5 V, the bat-
tery must be reloaded or replaced. Do not use the electric
starter any longer.
2) To replace the battery, set ignition to the OFF position.
3) Red line + (positive pole),
black line – (negative pole)
4) In case of longer downtimes of the scooter, the battery
must be separated from the electric circuit of the scooter,
in order to avoid a depth unloading.
Note: Troubles of the battery are excluded from the guar-
antee.

17
Flex Tech X1 – USER’S GUIDE
Spark Plug
Clean electrode from fouling by means of a wire brush.
Set sparking distance to 0.6 – 0.7 mm by means of a feeler
gauge.
Spark plug type: (NGK) C7HSA
Fuel
Regular or premium unleaded gasoline from 90 octane on-
wards.
Gasoline must be refuelled, if the needle is in the red area
of the fuel display.
Do not overload tank.
In case of longer downtimes, it should be noted that the
tank has completely been refuelled, since corrosion dam-
ages could arise. These damages are excluded by the guar-
antee.
Gasoline Consumption
The consumption specified of approximately. 2.5 liters per
100 km can deviate upwards according to area of operation,
way of driving, maintenance and additional load and has to
be understood as an optimal value.
Engine Oil Check
1) Unscrew oil cap with fuel level plunger on the right
scooter side.
2) Remove oil from fuel level plunger with a clean rag.
3) Place on (not screw in) oil cap with fuel level plunger.
4) Take out vertically oil cap with fuel level plunger.
5) Check oil-level (see figure below).
6) Screw in again oil cap with fuel level plunger.

Brakes
The clearance on the brake lever (a) is 10 - 20 mm.
Adjust set screw such that the clearance on the brake lever
be correct.
ATTENTION:
Clearance denotes the distance from the normal position
of the lever up to the tensile point of the brake (the brake
begins to lock into place).
Tires
An insufficient air pressure decreases the service life of the
tires and reduces the driving stability. Make sure there is a
sufficient air pressure and tire profile depth.
1) Tire pressure in front: 2.0 bar
Tire pressure at the rear: 2.2 bar
2) It is recommended to replace the tires with a profile
depth of less than 2 mm. To do this, observe the legal
regulations.
3) In case of a 2-person operation it is recommended to
increase the tire pressure at the rear by 0.2 – 0.3 bar.
a = 10 - 20 mm

Problem / Error Correction
Vehicle does not start.
Lateral stand above?
Ignition key to ON?
Pulled brake?
Gasoline available?
E-Starter without function,
but vehicle starts via kick starter.
Battery unloaded. Never open the battery for loading! The battery contains
acid! We recommend you to use our battery charger for maintenance-free bat-
teries to load the battery. This is also suitable for conservation charging with
longer downtimes. Thus you avoid defects by means of depth unloading.
Vague road performance
No precise steering performance
Check tire pressure!
In front 2.0 bar – at the rear 2.2 bar
In case of a too low tire pressure, there is the danger that the tire detaches itself
from the wheel rim during the drive. It is best to control the air pressure before
each drive.
