KONA OWNER’S MANUAL
30 29
there may be a modest charge for this service. We also
recommend that you ask your dealer for guidance on
what spare parts, such as inner tubes, light bulbs, etc.
it would be appropriate for you to have once you have
learned how to replace such parts when they require
replacement.
A) SERVICE INTERVALS
Some service and maintenance can and should be per-
formed by the owner, and require no special tools or
knowledge beyond what is presented in this manual.
The following are examples of the type of service you
should perform yourself. All other service, maintenance
and repair should be performed in a properly equipped
facility by a qualied bicycle mechanic using the correct
tools and procedures specied by the manufacturer.
1. Break-in Period: Your bike will last longer and work
better if you break it in before riding it hard. Control
cables and wheel spokes may stretch or “seat” when a
new bike is rst used and may require readjustment by
your dealer. Your Mechanical Safety Check [Section 1.C]
will help you identify some things that need readjustment.
But even if everything seems ne to you, it’s best to
take your bike back to the dealer for a checkup. Dealers
typically suggest you bring the bike in for a 30 day
checkup. Another way to judge when it’s time for the rst
checkup is to bring the bike in after three to ve hours of
hard off-road use, or about 10 to 15 hours of on-road or
more casual off-road use. But if you think something is
wrong with the bike, take it to your dealer before riding it
again.
2.
Before every ride: Mechanical Safety Check [Section 1.C]
3. After every long or hard ride: if the bike has been
exposed to water or grit; or at least every 100 miles:
Clean the bike and lightly lubricate the chain’s rollers with
a good quality bicycle chain lubricant. Wipe off excess
lubricant with a lint-free cloth. Lubrication is a function of
climate. Talk to your dealer about the best lubricants and
the recommended lubrication frequency for your area.
4. After every long or hard ride or after every 10 to
20 hours of riding:
Squeeze the front brake and rock the bike forward and back.
Everything feel solid? If you feel a clunk with each forward or
backward movement of the bike, you probably have a loose
headset. Have your dealer check it.
Lift the front wheel off the ground and swing it from side to
side. Feel smooth? If you feel any binding or roughness in the
steering, you may have a tight head set. Have your dealer
check it.
Grab one pedal and rock it toward and away from the centerline
of the bike; then do the same with the other pedal. Anything
feel loose? If so, have your dealer check it.
Take a look at the brake pads. Starting to look worn or not hit-
ting the wheel rim squarely? Time to have the dealer adjust or
replace them.
Carefully check the control cables and cable housings. Any rust?
Kinks? Fraying? If so, have your dealer replace them
.
Squeeze each adjoining pair of spokes on either side of each
wheel between your thumb and index nger. Do they all feel
about the same? If any feel loose, have your dealer check the
wheel for tension and trueness.
Check the tires for excess wear, cuts or bruises. Have your
dealer replace them if necessary.
