MOTORS, or using these instructions which are provided as
suggestions only, agree to the following disclaimer: Operating this
motorized bicycle or bicycle engine kit, or use of individual
parts, involves the risk of serious bodily injury or even death.
The buyer and user accept total responsibility for any and all
vehicle operation or use that may lead to personal injury, economic
loss, social distress, other losses, costs and damages. Seller is
not responsible for injuries and or damages of any kind resulting
from operating this motorized bicycle, engine kit, or use of
individual parts or instructions. Always have a qualified mechanic
inspect your vehicle before operating your vehicle
Section 1: Installing Sprocket on a FreewheelSTEP 1. Take an
inventory of the contents of your kit. There is a list inside the
box of the entire kit (The engine kit you ordered will determine
the contents). Note: Locktite threadlocker is recommended on all
bolts. It keeps them from vibrating loose during operation of the
motor.
STEP 2. Livefastmotor kits come with a 48 tooth sprocket. 48
Tooth Sprocket : Gather the nine bolts, nine flat washers, nine
locking washers, nine nuts, the two rubber joint binders, and the
two metal backing plates. Note: Sprockets arrive unpainted. You may
paint yours to match your frame. Also available from
Livefastmotors: the 40 tooth Speed Sprocket. 2
STEP 3. Remove the rear wheel from your bike. Note: This is a
freewheel installation.
STEP 4. Place the sprocket on the wheel hub to check for fit.
Notice that the holes should fall between the spokes. The nine hole
sprocket works very well with the 36 spoke wheel. On a 28 Spoke
wheel it may be necessary to file the holes slightly to keep the
spokes from binding with the bolts.
3
STEP 5. Notice the hump on the bearing housing. The sprocket
should slide over this and rest against the spokes Make a 1/16 inch
line all the way around the center hole and then file the line
away. This will give you an almost perfect circle. Repeat if
necessary. Take your time and your sprocket will be a perfect
fit.
STEP 6. Take both joint binders and with scissors, make a cut
centered between two of the holes so they can be placed inside the
spokes and around the hub. DO NOT cut in half. Cut only one side of
both binders.
4
Special Note: The 48 tooth sprocket has a bevel and many people
are not sure which side faces the wheel. The answer is either. You
want to be sure you have chain clearance with the tire. Close to
the tire is good - rubbing the tire is bad. Choose the
way that allows you to line up the chain the best. Note: On the
OCC Schwinn Chopper, it will always be with the teeth closer to the
wheel.
STEP 7. Slide both joint binders through the spokes and around
the wheel hub axle.
STEP 8. To check for center, take a piece of string and tie a
loop in one end. Slip the loop over the axle and pull towards the
sprocket teeth. With a pencil, make a mark on the string at the end
of the tooth. Rotating the string around the sprocket, the mark
should be at the same place on each tooth. If it is, you have a
centered sprocket. 5
STEP 9. Some kit builders have used this optional method of
setting their sprocket: If you choose to use the 5 minute epoxy
glue to hold your wheel in center, you must have a level wheel
stand (bucket) and you need to work quickly. After mixing the epoxy
on a piece of cardboard, spread some on the wheel hub around the
bearing housing. Then place the sprocket onto the wheel hub. Move
to next step QUICKLY.
STEP 10. Make sure the holes fall between the spokes. Check that
the sprocket is centered using your string. Once the sprocket is
centered, leave it until the epoxy is set.
6
STEP 11. Place a flat washer onto a bolt and insert the bolt
through the sprocket, joint binder or binders, and backing plate.
Then, place a locking washer on the bolt and then a nut.
Finger-tighten, then repeat until all the bolts are in place. Note:
Only finger-tighten the bolts because the sprocket must be centered
on the wheel. Note: Its not necessary but you can use larger flat
washers and locking washers for the sprocket installation.
STEP 12. Place the wheel in the frame of your bike and spin
check for center and side to side wobble. Tighten or loosen the
bolts 1/8th turn at a time until any wobble is minimized or gone.
Note: Do the final tightening of the bolts when the wheel is on the
bike frame. Its easy to check for wobble and alignment often by
giving the wheel a spin. Once all the bolts are tight its time to
install the motor.
7
Flip the bike over and lets install a motor.

Section 2: Installing Sprocket on Coaster Brake HubSTEP 1.
Livefastmotor kits come with a 48 tooth sprocket. 48 Tooth Sprocket
: Gather the nine bolts, nine flat washers, nine locking washers,
nine nuts, the two rubber joint binders, and the two metal backing
plates. Note: Sprockets arrive unpainted. You may paint yours to
match your frame. Also available from Livefastmotors: the 40 tooth
Speed Sprocket.
STEP 1 a. 40 Tooth Speed Sprocket : If youre using the 40 tooth
speed sprocket, gather the five bolts, five flat washers, five
locking washers, five nuts, the two rubber joint binders, and the
two metal backing plates. Note: The speed sprocket will soon only
be available in a 9 hole design for easier installation.
STEP 2. Remove the rear wheel from your bike. Note: When
installing on a coaster brake hub, remove the brake arm. Brake
arm
9
STEP 3. . When installing on a coaster break hub, it may be
necessary to remove the dust cover or grind down the lip of the
dust cover. Or, use a sharpie marker to make a small line (about
1/16 of an inch) evenly around the edge of the center hole of the
sprocket. Then file along the edge of the sprocket until the line
disappears. This will allow you to fit over the dust cover without
rubbing, and will help keep your wheel bearings rolling smoothly.
Repeat this step if necessary.
STEP 4. Take one joint binder and make a cut centered between
two of the holes so it can be placed inside the spokes and around
the hub.
10
Note: A joint binder may be needed on both sides of the sprocket
for chain alignment on some non-coaster brake bikes. STEP 5. When
installing on a free wheel, place the second wheel binder on the
wheel outside the spokes. Position the holes between the spokes so
the bolts clear the spokes. Place the backing plates on the inside,
so the cut you made on the inner joint binder is between two of the
inner backing plate holes. This is to ensure that the binder cant
separate during operation. Note: When installing on a coaster brake
hub, do not install the outer joint binder. This is necessary for
the sprocket to sit flush with the bearing housing.
Special Note: The 48 tooth sprocket has a bevel and many people
arent sure which side faces the wheel. The answer is either. You
want to be sure you have chain clearance with the tire. Close to
the tire is good - rubbing the tire is bad. Choose the
way that allows you to line up the chain the best. Note: On the
OCC Schwinn Chopper, it will always be with the teeth closer to the
wheel.
STEP 6. Place a flat washer onto a bolt, and insert the bolt
through the sprocket, joint binder or binders, and backing plate.
Then place a locking washer on the bolt and then a nut.
Finger-tighten, then repeat until all bolts are in place. Note:
Only finger-tighten the bolts because the sprocket must be centered
on the wheel.
11
STEP 7. Using a piece of wire or a string with a loop placed
over the axle, check the distance of each tooth from the center of
the wheel. Adjust the sprocket position until centered. Then with a
sharpie marker, mark the wire or string at the edge of one of the
teeth. Check the position again to ensure you have the sprocket
centered. Begin tightening the bolts in a star pattern, a few turns
at a time, to ensure the sprocket sits evenly. Remember to check
for center often.
STEP 8. Place the wheel in the frame of your bike and spin check
for center and side to side wobble. Tighten or loosen the bolts
1/8th turn at a time until the wobble is minimized or gone. If you
are installing on a free wheel you are done. If you are using a
coaster brake, continue to step 9. Note: Spin the wheel often to
check for center and wobble.
STEP 9. Place the brake arm in position and check for bolt
clearance. It may be necessary to bend the brake arm to clear the
bolts. Using your sharpie, mark the place you need to bend the arm
to clear the bolts.
12
STEP 10. Place the brake arm in a vise (heat will make bending
easier and more precise). A hammer and brute force will work in
this application as well.
STEP 11. After the bend is complete, install the brake arm and
spin the wheel to check for clearance. If the arm clears the bolts,
attach the wheel to the bike and get ready to install your
motor.
STEP 12. Now that you have installed the rear wheel and checked
to see that it spins true, its time to move on to the motor. Note:
There are many ways to install your motor and people are coming up
with new mounting ideas every day. We will be touching on a few
different ones.
13
Rear Engine InstallationSection 2 Installing the motorAfter
installing the sprocket to the rear wheel and placing the rear
wheel on the bike, Attach the chain tensioner to the left side of
the bike on the rear upper frame rail as shown. Dont tighten the
tension wheel yet. That will be tightened after the chain is
installed.
Take out the 2 long screws, 2 flat bar with nuts and one black
thick bar and assemble the long screw to the flat bar as shown,
tighten it with the nut to lock it in place.
Unscrew the nut from the bicycle at the rear wheel axle, place
the flat bar onto the axle then replace the nut as shown.
14
Be sure that the flat bar is in front of the bolt on the
derailleur or the engine will not sit securely on the mount.
Place a nut on each long bolt spin it down about 2 inches then
place a washer over each nut. Slide the black bar onto both bolts
with the outside hole toward the left side of the bike. Slide
another washer over each bolt then another nut. Just snug them down
with your fingers for now. We will be using them to adjust the
motors height later.
Gather the long L shaped bolt, 2 nuts, threaded mounting plate,
seat post clamp, rubber strip, bolt for the seat post clamp and 2
nuts and washers.
Thats everything in this picture. Remove the paper backing from
the strip of rubber and place it into the seat post clamp.
15
Remove the seat and seat post from the bike and slide the new
clamp onto the seat post. Slide a washer onto the bolt then the
threaded mounting plate using the smaller hole, then another washer
and then two nuts. Thread the bolt into the seat clamp then use the
nut closest to the clamp to tighten it into place. The nut closest
to the threaded mounting plate will be used to tighten the plate
into place. Dont tighten the mounting plate into place until the
engine is mounted.
Remove the six bolts holding the gas tank and plastic gas tank
guard.
Replace the two Bolts into the side of the motor after the Tank
guard has been removed.
Open the bag that contains a T-shape black bar and bolt, two
smaller bolts and two pieces of plastic spacers.
T-bar and bolt Smaller bolts Spacers
16
Remove the throttle cable and kill switch from the motor. Attach
the gas tank in its original position with the T-bar under the
clutch side between the gas tank and the motor using the two
smaller bolts from the package. Place the plastic spacers between
the motor and the gas tank on the pull start side of the motor as
shown.
Remove the 4 nuts at the front rectangular cover of the drive
assembly, and one black nut 8mm and washer at bottom of drive
assembly. Then remove the cover.
Remove the 4 nuts that are temporarily used to hold the clutch
coupling housing in place for shipping. Remove the clutch assembly
taking note of the spacer placement. The small chain will slide
right off the small sprocket once the nuts are loose.
17
Attach the clutch housing to the Motor with the 2 short black
bolts. Remember to use lock tight on all bolts.
Short Bolts
Then, assemble the small chain and Main Assembly in position
before securing the 2 long black bolts and spacers. Be sure to set
the tension on the small chain before tightening into place.
Long bolts and spacers
Attach the motor to the black bar with the T-bar and the bolt on
the bottom of the drive assembly. Be sure to have the sprocket side
over the left side of the bike and the pull cord over the right
side of the bike.
18
Screw the L bolt into the threaded plate. Then place a nut on
the short end of the L-bolt. Notice in the example the threaded
plate is loose so you can maneuver the L-bolt into place. Check the
position and the angle of the motor by inserting the short end of
the L-bolt into the hole on the drive assembly. It is OK if the
motor tilts forward a little. But you dont want the motor to tilt
back. The threads on the threaded plate can go up or down depending
on your bike. You also can bolt the threaded plate to the existing
seat post of the bike if you wish.
When you have the best position for the motor, slide the short
end of the L-bolt into the hole in the drive assembly under the
motor. Place another nut on the end of the bolt and tighten.
Tighten the Threaded plate And the seat post clamp using the two
nuts between the clamp and the plate.
This is an example of the threaded plate attached to the seat
post clamp that came with the bike.
19
Remove the master link from the chain and slide it over the
sprocket behind the small chain. Master Link
Let the chain hang down to the wheel sprocket it should line up
straight. Wrap the chain around the wheel sprocket and replace the
master link.
If the sprocket is straight and the chain length is good you may
choose not to use the chain tensioner. Adjust the tensioner wheel
to remove slack in the chain and tighten in place.
20
If you need to slide the motor to the left or right to line up
the sprockets loosen these two bolts and gently nudge the motor
over so the chain lines up with both sprockets. To raise or lower
the motor loosen or tighten the bolts on the black cross bar.
If you experience chain popping, remove the chain and you can
file the outer edges of each sprocket tooth to help them enter the
chain smoothly.
If you need to adjust the chain tension on the small chain,
slightly loosen the bolts on the drive housing.
Then raise or lower the T-bolt under the Motor.
21
Plug the kill switch into the wires from the motor. Attach the
other end of the kill switch to a easy to reach area.
Attach the throttle lever just in front of the left hand
grip.
Feed the throttle cable through the bike to the carburetor and
reattach the end to the throttle assembly.
22
Attach the drive assembly cover using the four nuts and four
washers you removed earlier.
Your motor is able to tilt forward so the gas feed line in the
gas tank will point up slightly and if you mount your motor
straight you will need to adjust the gas feed line. This can cause
the motor to sputter without enough gas even with a half full tank.
This is easy to fix.
Make a small hook on the end of a long wire. Remove the gas cap
and reach in with the wire and hook the black feeder line. Gently
pull the line out.
23
Pull the filter off the end of the line and snip about 1 &
1/2 inches off the end and replace the filter. Push the line back
into the tank.
Fill the Oil tank with 10.W.30 motor oil. Fill the gas tank with
regular unleaded gasoline. This is a 4 stroke it does
not use gas oil mix.
To start, press the primer bubble until you see the gas come out
the clear tube.
Turn on the switch. Lift the choke lever. Pull the pull start
until it fires up. Push the choke lever back down.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONSObey all traffic regulations. Do not
operate bike without the chain guard installed. Always wear a
helmet and eye protection when riding. Do not wear loose fitting
pants or skirt when riding, as loose fabric can catch in the drive
chain and cause an accident. 5. Remember that you are riding a
small, motorized vehicle and other traffic may not be able to see
you. Wear bright colors on your shirt and helmet. 6. Never ride at
night without proper headlight, taillight, and reflectors. Be sure
to wear reflective clothing when riding at night. 7. Never ride on
pedestrian throughways or sidewalks, especially with the engine
running. 8. Never operate your MOTOcycle in an unsafe manner. 9.
Wear riding gloves to prevent injury to hands during an accident.
10. Check local and state laws before riding your MOTOcycle on the
street. 11. WARNING ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET WHILE RIDING!! 1. 2. 3.

PREPARATION1. Engine oil level CAUTION! Running the engine with
insufficient oil can cause serious engine damage. Be sure to check
the engine on a level surface with the engine stopped. a. Place the
engine with the fuel tank side downward and horizontally on a level
surface. b. Remove the oil filler cap and check the oil level: it
should reach the top of the oil filler neck. c. If the oil is low
fill to top of the oil filler neck with the recommended oil.
Every 10 hours check the oil level and replenish the oil up to
the top of the filler neck if the engine is operated for more than
10 hours continuously. Use a high detergent, premium quality motor
oil certified to meet or exceed U.S. automobile manufactures
requirement for service classification SG. SF. Motor oils
classified SG, SF will show this designation on the container. SAE
10W-30 is recommended for general, all temperature use. 25
CAUTION!! Using non-detergent oil or 2 stroke engine oil shorten
the engines life. 2. Air cleaner CAUTION!! Never run the engine
without the air cleaner. Rapid engine wear will result. Check
cleaner for dirt or obstruction of element. could
3. Fuel Use automotive gasoline (unleaded or lowleaded is
preferred to minimize combustion chamber deposits). Never use an
oil / gasoline mixture or dirty gasoline. Avoid getting dirt, dust
or water in the fuel tank. WARNING!! Gasoline is extremely
flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. Refuel in a
well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Dont smoke or allow
flames or sparks in the area where the engine is refueled or where
the engine is stored. Dont overfill the tank (there should be no
fuel in the filler neck). After refueling, make sure the tank cap
is closed properly and securely. Be careful not to spill fuel when
refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is
spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the engine.
Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing
vapor.
26
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Fuel tank capacity: 0.9 1 (0.238
US gal) GASOLINE CONTAINING ALCOHOL If you decide to use a gasoline
containing alcohol (gasohol), be sure its octane rating is high.
There are two types of gasohol, one containing alcohol, and the
other containing methanol. Dont use gasoline containing methanol
(methyl or wood alcohol that does not also contain co-solvents and
corrosion inhibitors for methanol. Never use gasoline containing
more than 5% methanol, even if it has co-solvents and corrosion
inhibitors. CAUTION! Fuel system damage or engine problems
resulting from the use of fuels that contain alcohol is not covered
under the warranty. We cant endorse the use of fuels containing
methanol since evidence of their suitability is as yet incomplete.
Before buying fuel from an unfamiliar station, try to find out if
the fuel contains alcohol. If it does, confirm the type and
percentage of alcohol used. If you notice any undesirable operating
symptoms while using a gasoline that you know does not contain
alcohol, switch to a gasoline that you know does not contain
alcohol. 4. Retightening bolts and nuts: Check for loose bolts and
nuts. Tighten the bolts and nuts properly and securely, if
necessary.
V.
STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Turn the engine switch to ON position (on the equipment
side). 2. Move the choke lever to the OFF position CAUTION! Dont
use the choke if the engine is warm or the air temperature is high.
3. Press the priming pump several times until a fuel flow in the
fuel return tube is visually noticed. 4. Pull the starter grip
lightly until resistance is felt, then pull briskly. CAUTION! If
not pulled briskly, sparks may fail to jump across the spark plug
electrodes, resulting in failure to start the engine. High altitude
operation At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel
mixture will be excessively rich. Performance will decrease, and
fuel consumption will increase. High altitude performance can be
improved by installing a smaller diameter main fuel jet in the
carburetor, and readjusting the idle needle screw. If you always
operate the engine at altitudes higher than 1,860m (6000 feet)
above sea level, have your authorized dealer perform these
carburetor modifications. Even with suitable carburetor jetting,
engine horsepower will decrease approximately 3.5% for each 305m
(1000 feet) increase in altitude. The affect of altitude on
horsepower will be greater than this if no carburetor modification
is made. 27
CAUTION! Operation of the engine at an altitude lower than the
carburetor is jetting for may result in reduced performance,
overheating, and serious engine damage caused by an excessively
lean air/fuel mixture.
VI.
OPERATION
1. Gradually move the choke lever to the ON position. Warm up
the engine until it runs smoothly. 2. Position the throttle control
lever for the desired speed (on the equipment side). VII.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
To stop the engine in an emergency, turn the engine switch to
the OFF position (on the equipment side). Under normal conditions,
use the following procedure. 1. Position the throttle lever fully
to LOW (on the equipment side). 2. Turn the engine switch to the
OFF position (on the equipment side).
VIII. MAINTENANCEPeriodic inspection and adjustment of the
engine is essential if high lever performance is to be maintained.
Regular maintenance will also ensure a long service life. The
required service intervals and the kind of maintenance to be
performed are described on the table below.
Maintenance Scedule
Service more frequently if used in a dirty area. These items
should be serviced by an authorized dealer, unless the owner has
the proper tools and mechanical proficiency. WARNING! Shut off the
engine before performance. To prevent accidental start-up, turn OFF
the engine switch and disconnect the spark plug cap. The engine
should be service by an authorized dealer unless the owner has
proper tools and service data and feels he is mechanically
qualified. 28
CAUTION! Use only genuine parts or their equipment. The use of
replacement parts which are not equivalent quality may damage the
engine. 1. Oil Change Drain the oil while the engine is still warm
to assure rapid and complete drain. a. Check the fuel filler cap is
tightened. b. Remove the oil filler cap and drain the oil into the
oil container by inclining the engine toward the oil filler neck.
c. Refill with the recommended oil and check the oil lever. Engine
oil capacity: 0.101 (0.11 US qt. 0.09 Imp qt.) Wash your hands with
soap and water after handling used oil. CAUTION! Please dispose of
used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with the environment.
We suggest you take it in a sealed container to your local service
station for reclamation. Dont throw it in the trash or pour it on
the ground. 2. Air cleaner service A dirty air cleaner will
restrict air flow to the carburetor. To prevent carburetor
malfunction, service the air cleaner regularly. Service more
frequently when operating the engine in extremely dusty areas.
WARNING! Never use gasoline or low flash point solvents for
cleaning the air cleaner element. A fire or explosion could result.
CAUTION! Never run the engine without the air cleaner. Rapid engine
wear will result. a. Move the choke lever to the CLOSED (upward)
position. b. Remove the air cleaner cover by unhooking the upper
tab on the top of the air cleaner cover and its two lower tabs. c.
Wash the element in a nonflammable or high flash point solvent and
dry it thoroughly. d. Soak the element in clean engine oil and
squeeze out the excess oil e. Reinstall the air cleaner element. f.
Reinstall the air cleaner cover by inserting the lover tabs, then
insert the upper tab.
29
3. Spark plug service Recommended spark plug: C5HSB CR5HSB (NGK)
CAUTION! Never use a spark plug of incorrect heat range. To ensure
proper engine operation, the spark plug must be properly gapped and
free of deposits. a. Remove the spark plug cap and use the proper
size spark plug wrench to remove the spark plug. WARNING! If the
engine has been running, the muffler will be very hot. Be careful
not to touch the muffler. b. Visually inspect the spark plug.
Discard the spark plug if there is apparent wear, or if the
insulator is cracked or chipped. Clean the spark plug with a wire
brush if it is to be reused. c. Measure the spark plug gap with a
feeler gauge. Correct as necessary by bending the side electrode.
The gap should be: 0.60~0.70mm (0.024~0.028 in). d. Check the spark
plug washer is in good condition and thread the spark plug in by
hand to prevent crossthreading. e. After the spark plug is seated,
tighten with a spark plug wrench to compress the washer. C AUTION!
When installing a new spark plug, tighten with turn after the spark
plug seats to compress the washer. When reinstalling a used spark
plug, tighten 1/8 to turn after the spark plug seats to compress
the washer. CAUTION! The spark plug must be securely tightened. An
improperly tightened spark plug can become very hot and may damage
the engine. 4. Fuel filler service WARNING! Gasoline is extremely
flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. Dont smoke or
allow flames or sparks in the area. a. Check the engine oil filler
cap is tightened securely. b. Remove the fuel filler cap and drain
the fuel into the container by inclining the engine toward the fuel
filler neck. c. Pull out the fuel filter with the mechanics wire
from the fuel filler neck gently. d. Check the fuel filter for
dirt. If the fuel filter is dirty, gently wash it with nonflammable
or high flash point solvent. If the fuel filter is excessively
dirty, replace it. e. Return the fuel filter into the fuel tank and
the fuel filler cap securely.

Livefastmotors.com (CJR Imports, LLC)Installation
InstructionsCongratulations on choosing your new Livefastmotors
motorbike kit accessory package. We offer these instructions to
guide you through the installation. Please read through the
instructions before beginning your installation. Happy
motoring!
Accessory Kit InstallationStep 1. Mounting the Headlight The
headlight bracket included in your kit is mountable on the front
fork. You can mount it above or below the wheel line. Be sure to
give yourself room for the spokes. Shown here installed below the
wheel line.
Step 2. If you prefer an alternative to the front fork
placement, you can easily make your own bracket out of a steel or
aluminum bar purchased from your local hardware store.
33
Step 3. Fashioning a Bracket To make your own mounting bracket,
place the bar in a vice leaving 2 inches above the clamp. Drill a
inch hole inch down from the top. Grab the top of the bar with a
pair of pliers and give it a 90 twist.
Step 4. It should look something like this after your twist.
Step 5. Next, drill a inch hole 3 inches down from the twisted
end. Note: The twist cant be seen because the bar is upside down in
the vice.
34
Step 6. Decide where on your bike you want the light installed.
You can easily install the headlight on the handlebars by bending
your newly fashioned bracket around the bar, and drilling another
hole that lines up with the hole drilled in step five.
Step 7. If you prefer, you could bend the bracket into an L
shape and mount it to the front fork, above the wheel and behind
the brake caliper. The light installs easily and does not affect
the braking of the bike. Note: Most bicycle forks have a hole for a
front brake caliper even if there is no brake caliper.
35
Step 8. Remove the caliper from the front fork by removing the
rear nut. Then slide the bracket onto the long bolt. Reattach the
brake caliper with the light bracket in place. Attach the light
using the bolt that came with the light.
Step 9. Installing the Bike Computer.
36
Step 10. Remove the battery cover from the back of the computer.
Insert the battery into the battery compartment. Place the computer
bracket over the handle bar. With the two sliver contacts at the
front of the bike, tighten down. Slide the computer onto the
bracket until it clicks into place.
Step 11. Place the sensor on the inside of the front fork, and
place the magnet on a wheel spoke. Adjust the relative position so
that the space between the magnet and the sensor is less than inch.
Remove the sticker from the back of the sensor and stick into
place. Then, using three zip-ties, tighten the sensor into place.
Next, tighten the screw on the magnet.
37
Step 12. Programming the Computer Press and hold the button on
the front for 3 seconds; then let the button up. Choose between kph
or mph by pressing the button. The display will change each time
the button is pressed. When your choice shows on the display, press
and hold the button for three seconds and release. Now you must
calibrate the wheel.

Step 13. Now your display screen will show three zeros. Choose
your wheel size from the calibration table above. The corresponding
wheel circumference number directly below it is the number you will
select. Begin pressing the button - the numbers will Increase in
increments of one. After the tenth time the button is pressed, the
numbers will begin to change rapidly. Press the button to stop. Try
to stop it just before the calibration number you are using. If
youre setting it for a 26 wheel, stop at 200 and move to 208 one
number at a time. Once you have reached 208, press and hold the
button for three seconds and the computer is set and calibrated. If
you pass your target number, simply start over. Once setup is
completed you can change between the functions by pressing the
button once for each function.

Step 14. Installing the Generator Attach the generator to one of
the rear struts using the bracket provided in the kit. Be sure to
have the generator locked in the off position while attaching. Flip
the release bar to rest the generator wheel on the rear tire of the
bike. Be sure to tighten the set screw into the strut to ensure a
proper ground for the lights.
Step 15. Installing the Taillight Attach the taillight to one of
the rear struts using the bracket provided in the kit. Be sure to
attach it high enough to be visible from all sides and rear of the
bike. Tighten the set screw to ensure a proper ground.
Step 16. Connecting the Wires Run the wire from both the
headlight and the taillight to the brass lead on the bottom of the
generator. Press the lead in with your finger and slide the tip of
the wires into the hole. Release the lead. Unlock the generator and
let it rest on the rear wheel. Begin pedaling and the lights will
come on.
