• Running your vehicle for long periods can generate a high heat
level,which causes wear and tear on the motor. To keep the heat
level down, rest your motorcycle for 20 minutes after every 10
minutes of continuous use.
• When your motorcycle’s battery pack runs down, let the
motorcycle cool for at least 10 minutes before you install a newly
charged battery pack.
• If your motorcycle doesnot respond to the transmitter, move
closer to your motorcycle and try again. Obstructions such as
fences and buildings may decrease the transmitter’s range.
• If someone uses a CB nearby, it might interfere with the
control of the motorcycle.If this happens, move the
motorcycle away from the CB. You cannot operate your
motorcycle near deviceswith transmitters that use the same
frequency as your motorcycle. Check to see which frequency you
have.
• If your motorcycle continues to run slowly after you have installed
a newly recharged battery pack and/or AA batteries, check the
wheels for lint, thread, hair and dust.
• You can order replacement parts {drive belts, tires, and skids
(balusters), etc.} for your motorcycle atwww.radioshack.com.
Use your supplied wrenches to remove and replace motorcycle
parts.

a real motorcycle. If your motorcycle falls during driving, rotate
the steering wheel in one direction and pull the trigger
simultaneously. Then, rotate thesteering wheel in theopposite
direction. Release the steering once the motorcycle is upright
again.
• When you want tostop, it is bestto turn the motorcycle into a
skid while applying the brake.

For large turns, increase your speed before turning the steering
wheel. For smaller turns, slow down before turning.
• If your motorcycle wobbles during driving, slightly rotate the
steering wheel to allow the motorcycle to stabilize and go
straight.
