got me a new thumpstar

[steven miles]

Gday, my name is steve, im 15 and just got my first bike, its a 125cc Atomik thumpstar. I wanted to keep it sweet and check the engine and gearbox oils, was just wondering if someone could help me.. there is a dipstick on the right side of the bike, is that the engine oil?!

congrats on the bike mate, yeah the dipstick is for the engine oil

Hers just a few things that you should do to your bike before taking it for any hard rides

- Replace the stock brake fluid with some new/real stuff.
- loctite on: brake bolts, plastics bolts, handlebar related bolts, gear shifter lever clamp bolt, rear brake clamp bolt, exhaust header studs and nuts, fork clamp bolts, axle nuts, etc.
- Replace the engine transport oil with some better stuff.
- Light oil (Inox is best) on axles, and generally everywhere metal after riding and washing except the brake discs.
- The china air filters are crap. Get a genuine Unifilter and some of their filter oil.
- Check stock fuel line is not too brittle. Replace if necessary.
- Adjust your clutch freeplay for easy action for your left hand.
- Adjust your brake levers to suit your right hand and foot.
- Adjust your chain slack (seems to be best checked when someone sits on a pitbike).
- Change fork oil with some better stuff, If you want to go that far
