CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT
WARNING!
Never start the engine without the complete clutch cover assembled!
Otherwise the clutch can come loose and cause personal injuries.
In the Carburetor, fuel is mixed with air. When the engine is tested at
the factory, the Carburetor is basically adjusted. Further adjustment
may be required from time to time, depending on climate and altitude.
The Carburetor has two possible adjustments:
1. Idle speed adjustment (US Models – only option available, EPA
approved) Due to EPA air quality regulations, on US models the Air/Fuel Mixture
adjustment is pre-set on these carburetors by the factory and can’t be adjusted by
the consumer.
2.
Air/Fuel Mixture adjustments
Idle Speed Adjustment
1. Start the engine.
2. Using a long, Philips head screwdriver
gently turn the top screw clockwise until the
XG-550 starts to move forward.
3.Then back out by turning the screw
counterclockwise until the XG-550 stops.
*Correct idle speed is obtained when the
engine runs smoothly just below the RPM
when the XG-550 starts to move.
Air/Fuel Mixture Adjustment
1. Start the engine.
2. Using a long, standard screwdriver and
while holding the throttle wide open, turn
the bottom screw (with spring) clockwise as
far as possible, then back out 1 & ¼ to 1 &
½ turns until the engine rums smoothly.
Note: Standard idle RPM is about
2500-3000 RPM.
Page13
WARNING!
When the engine is idling, under no circumstances should your
XG-499 be moving.
If the XG-499 continues to move after idle speed adjustment, contact
X-Treme or your local X-Treme service center.
Cleaning the Air Filter
It is a good idea to occasionally clean the air filter to insure optimum
performance.
To clean the air filter:
1. Using a Philips head screwdriver, remove
the carburetor cover by turning the cover
screw counter-clockwise. (Fig.10).
2. Remove and clean the air filter (the
spongy material on top of the air intake),
with a damp rag. (Fig.11).
3. Put the air filter back into its original
position and replace the cover.
BRAKING SYSTEM
The XG-499 uses both front wheel and rear wheel disc/caliper system
activated by hand levers (on either side of the handlebar). Squeezing the
BRAKE LEVER with your left hand activates the front brake, and squeezing
the BRAKE LEVER with your right hand activates the rear brake. Make sure
to release the THROTTLE GRIP when engaging the brakes.
Practice braking on a smooth, dry surface to get used to the feel of the braking
system. Braking distance is affected by wet conditions and loose and uneven
Page14
riding surfaces.
Adjusting the Brakes.
The Brakes on the XG-499 should come fully adjusted from the factory.
However, it may be necessary to adjust the brake from time to time.
To adjust the brakes:
1. With one hand, depress the
brake caliper using your thumb
and forefinger (Fig.12).
2. With the other hand, adjust the
tension screw on the brake line.
a. Turn the tension screw
clockwise to loosen the
brake.
b. Turn the tension screw
counterclockwise to tighten
brake.
Squeaky Brakes
The brakes may squeak until they are broken in. This is normal
and will not affect the function or performance of the brakes. With
continued use the squeak should go away.
TIRE AND WHEELS
The X-Treme XG-499 uses an identical rim and tire assembly on the front and
rear wheels, which means that the tires can be rotated. The wheels are
actually two wheel halves (split rim) bolted together to make it easier to remove
and replace the tire and tube.
The rear wheel is fitted with a special spacer to accommodate the chain
sprocket, while the front wheel has a bracket for the disc brake.
Tire wear will differ based on rider weight, riding conditions and care.
Replacement tires can be obtained at your local X-Treme dealer, through
motorcycle shops, or from the X-Treme website at www.x-tremescooters.com
Tire Pressure
The tire must be inflated to a maximum of 50 P.S.I.. It is also
recommended to use a tube additive like Slime purchasable from any
motorcycle shop, to avoid inconvenient punctures.
Empty all air from the tire, prior to loosening the bolt to split the rim.
Page15
ADJUSTING THE HEAD UNIT
The head unit should come adjusted from the factory. However, riding on
rough terrain and general use may cause the head unit to become loose over
time. It may be necessary to adjust the head unit from time to time.
To adjust the head unit:
1. Rotate the handle bar as far right as it will
go to expose the HEAD UNIT (Fig.13).
2. Using a large adjustable wrench, gently
turn the BEARING LOCK clockwise to
tighten. *DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN OR
IT WILL DAMAGE THE BEARINGS.
ADJUSTING THE CHAIN
The chain will come adjusted from the factory. However, it may be necessary
to adjust the sprockets from time to time. The chain must be well aligned onto
the sprockets in order to avoid uneven wear. This will result in shortened
chain life.
How tight should the chain be?
 If the chain is skipping or jumping on the sprockets, this is too
loose and may be harmful.
 If the chain is making a humming sound when the wheel it
turning, this is too tight and may cause the chain to snap.
 The correct tension is achieved by adjusting the chain from its
loose position to when it becomes lightly tense.
To tighten the chains:
Slightly loosen the two axle bolts on both
sides of the rear wheel. (Fig.14). Then slowly
adjust the two adjusting screws on each side
of the rear tire (Fig.15) until belt reaches the
proper tension.
Page16
Occasionally rotate the rear wheel
to make sure belt is aligned.
Finally, lock and tighten the rear
axle bolts prior to riding.

2.) Take a photo of the transmission, so you will remember how it looked and went on the
scooter. That will help you in putting that back on.
3.) On the inside of that transmission, is the transmission bell housing. You will see a nut
that you will need to remove. Remove that, and you should be able to place the new
bell on.
4.) Tighten that down and put the transmission back on.
How To Install Bearings
1.) Remove the rear wheel.
2.) Remove the old bearing. To do this, you will need to insert something, like a screw
driver, from the opposite side and simply push it out.
3.) Put the new bearings in. You will want to use something like a rubber mallet so you do
not crack the bearings. Set the wheel on a flat, absorbent surface, like a work bench.
Tap the bearing into the wheel evenly.
4.) Re-install the tire and test ride.
How To Check For Spark
***Use Caution when testing in proximity of gasoline or gas vapors.
1.)
2.)
3.)
4.)
Remove the spark plug wire from the spark plug.
Remove the spark plug.
Install the spark plug wire back on the spark plug.
Place the spark plugs metal end against the side of the motor or frame.
** ATTENTION** THE NEXT STEP WILL CAUSE A SPARK!!
5.) Pull the rope or use the electric start and watch for a spark between the spark plugs

electrodes.
If there was not a spark try to disconnect this kill switch wires. This will be the wire
that comes out of the top of the motor, and runs down under the deck plate.
Disconnect it at the white plastic connection.
Repeat step 5 to see if there is a spark.
If you still do not see a spark the problem is likely the ignition coil.
If you have spark after disconnecting the kill switch wire it is possible that your kill
switch is bad or the wire is shorted to ground.
How To Adjust Carburetor Air/Fuel Mixture
(If your engine has an air/fuel mixture screw – NON US Models Only)
1.) Block the rear wheel off the ground and make sure that it will not come down.
2.) Adjust the screw on the carburetor (the one with the spring) in all the way (do not over
tighten as this will ruin the mixture screw) and then out a turn and a half.
3.) Start the scooter and let it warm up.
4.) Snap the throttle wide open. If the motor hesitates adjust the mixture screw open till it
no longer hesitates.
5.) Test ride the scooter.
6.) If the scooter does not seem to develop full power adjust the mixture screw in or out
1/8 of a turn at a time until motor has full power and does not hesitate when the
throttle snapped open.
Alternative Method:
1.) Run the motor full throttle and adjust slowly until you achieve max rpm.
2.) Give a 1/4 turn counterclockwise to provide just a little rich and ride scooter.
How To Change Charger Socket
1.)
2.)
3.)
4.)
Locate the rear of the charging socket.
Follow wires and disconnect white plastic connector from controller.
Remove nut on back of charger socket.
Look down inside the connector; you will see the two metal pins. They are held in
place by a small tab that bends outward. Reach inside the front of the connector with
a dental pick or jeweler’s screwdriver and bend the tab in then pull the metal pin out
the back of the connector.
5.) Install the new charging socket and secure the nut.
6.) Reinsert the wires into the white connector making sure to match red-to-red and
black-to-black in the connection.
7.) Test new charger socket with charger.

8.) Re-assemble.
How To Change Fuse Holder
1.) Remove the six Allen head bolts securing the deck plate.
2.) Unplug the two white connectors at the end of the fuse holder wires.
3.) Remove the large nut on the back side of the fuse holder.
4.) Slide the nut over the wire connectors one at a time and remove fuse holder from
frame.
5.) Assemble in reverse order.
Troubleshooting: Getting Broken Bolts Out
Okay, let's look at some of the more routine steps in removing a broken bolt. In all cases
the best rule of thumb is to start with the simplest procedures and work your way up from
there, as each approach fails to get results.
First, let's assume part of its shaft is protruding from the metal surface. In such cases it's
always best to try to remove it by clamping the Vise Grips (very tight!) onto the shaft and
attempting to turn it out. In our years of experience we've found that in about half the
attempts the bolt or screw comes out, so it's well worth trying.
Didn't work or the bolt broke off again? Now it's time to get out the drill, but first you need
to grind or file the bolt's shaft perfectly flat. Once you do you can use a drill bit or center
punch to locate the center of the shaft, then to create a starter-hole for the drill bit. Choose
a bit that's smaller than the diameter of the bolt shaft and start drilling.
In this case it's going to work better if you have a left-hand drill set, because once you've
drilled far enough into the bolt the drill will bind up and probably unscrew the remaining
shaft. If the drill goes all the way through the bolt shaft you can drill again, using a slightly
larger bit. Eventually you will be left with thin remnants of the bolt's threads which you can
remove with a dental pick or run a threading tap into the hole to clean it out. If you do need
a tap to clean up the threads, the size tap for the fuel tank bolt holes on the XG series
scooter is 5mm x .08mm.
If you don't have left-hand drill bits you should have an Easy-Out set. These are little
hardened bits with twisted flutes arranged in a left-hand pattern. The top of each bit is
squared to allow turning with a wrench. The bits are tapered, so the several sizes in the kit
will fit a large range of bolt sizes. The procedure is to drill into the broken shaft a short way,
hammer the appropriate Easy-Out bit into the hole until it wedges and then turn it out with
an adjustable wrench.

Troubleshooting: Scooter Won’t Move
Remove the transmission. This is the part on the engine that has the sprocket attached.
Inside you will find the clutch bolted to the engine and you will find a circular piece that is
gold or brass in color. It will be bolted to the transmission. This is called the bell housing.
Either thee spring on the clutch may be gone or the bell has come off the transmission.
