Important Safety Information
A mini bike can provide many years of service and pleasure, provided you take responsibility for
safety, properly maintain your mini bike and understand the challenges you may encounter while
riding.
This mini bike has been designed for younger riders. However, not all youngsters meet the
physical and emotional levels that are needed for riding. Before parents allow any children to ride this
mini bike, we strongly recommend that both of you read this entire manual so you are fully informed
before deciding if your children are ready to ride. Listed below are some of the most important safety
measures one should take when riding.
Never Ride Without a Helmet The following statement is a proven fact:
``Helmets signicantly reduce the number and severity of head injuries. Never ride your mini bike
without a helmet. Even a crash at slow speed can result in a fatal head injury if you are not wearing
a helmet. Monster Moto recommends wearing helmets that have been certied for safety by helmet
testing organizations whom are independent from the helmet manufacturer. We also recommend
that you wear eye protection, boots, gloves, and other protective gear such as o-road riding pants.
Never Carry a Passenger This mini bike has been designed for ONE rider only.
There are no passenger pegs, footrests, handles or seat room for a passenger. Riding with a passenger
can interfere with your ability to operate and/or control the mini bike and may result in serious injury
or death.
Ride O-Road Only This mini bike has been designed and manufactured for
o-road use only. The mini bike is not equipped with lights, turn signals, horn and other features
required to drive a mini bike on public roads. The tires are not designed for pavement and will make
the mini bike unstable if it is ridden on pavement. If you have to cross a paved road, dismount and
walk the mini bike across the road.
Ride Within Your Limits Never attempt to ride your mini bike in a manner that is
beyond your skill level. It takes time to learn o-road riding skills. Learn to ride your mini bike step by
step. Start by practicing on safe terrain at slow speeds and gradually build your skill level. Instruction
from an experienced rider(s) is highly recommended. Alcohol, drug use, and fatigue will reduce your
ability to make good decisions and ride safely. Monster Moto does not recommend minibike usage
when inuenced by alcohol or drug use or when fatigued.
Be Alert for Hazards The terrain in which you ride can present many hazards.
Always “scan the terrain ahead of you continually. Watch for unexpected turns, drop-os, ditches,
rocks and other hazards. Always maintain a speed slow enough to allow you enough time to see and
react to hazards.
Do Not Drink and Ride Even one drink can impair your ability to ride a
mini bike safely. Each drink afterward will make the impairment worse. Do not drink and ride. Do
not let your friend’s drink and ride. Remember, in most states throughout the United States, you can
be arrested and charged with Driving Under the Inuence (DUI) if you are riding a mini bike while
intoxicated. This applies to o-road mini bikes as well.

Important Safety Information for Parents
As a parent, your child’s safety is your rst priority. Riding an o-road mini bike is very fun.
However, just like riding a bicycle, bad decisions can result in injury. As a parent, you can prevent
accidents by making informed decisions about if, when and how your child will ride. Always
supervise your child when he/she is riding.
Before you allow your child to ride, you need to decide if he/she is capable of riding. Riding readiness
can vary tremendously from one person to another. Age and size are not the only factors that help
determine one’s riding readiness. There are three other factors that you should also consider before
deciding if your child is ready to ride.
First, consider physical ability of your child. Riders must be able to hold the mini bike up, get on,
and sit comfortably with both feet on the ground. The rider must also be able to reach all of the
controls on the handlebars and work the brakes. Second, consider your child’s athletic ability. Your
child should be good at riding a bicycle before riding a mini bike. Determine if your child can judge
speeds and distances while riding a bicycle and react with the proper hand and foot actions. Any
person who does not have good coordination, balance, and agility should not ride this mini bike.
Finally, determine your child’s level of mental and emotional maturity. It is imperative that you are
honest with yourself when you ask yourself the following questions: Does your child think through
problems and come to logical conclusions? Does your child obey your rules when they ride their
bicycle? If your child makes bad judgements, takes unwarranted risks and/or does not obey your
rules, they should not ride this mini bike.
If you have decided that your child is ready to ride, please remember the following points and never
let your child ride without a helmet. It is up to you (parent) to ensure your child’s safety, even if they
learn to ride from another experienced adult. Never push your child to try things faster than they are
willing or capable of doing. Always supervise your child when they are riding and regularly remind
them about safety rules. As a parent it is your responsibility to be sure that the mini bike is properly
maintained and kept in safe operating condition.
Modifying this mini bike or using parts not manufactured by Monster Moto can make your
mini bike unsafe. Before you consider making any modications or adding an accessory, please read
the following information carefully.
Improper accessories or modications can cause a crash in which you can be
seriously hurt or killed. Follow all instructions in this owners manual regarding modications and
accessories.
Monster Moto strongly recommends that you do not remove any original equipment or
modify your mini bike in any way that may alter the design and/or operation. Such a change could
drastically impair the stability, handling, acceleration, and braking capabilities of the mini bike and
cause a crash. We also strongly suggest that you do not make any modications to the exhaust
system components.

Operating Controls
Fuel Valve
Choke Lever
Engine Stop
The two way fuel valve is used to control the ow of fuel
from the gas tank to the carburetor. The valve is located
under the gas tank. Turning the fuel valve to the “ON posi-
tion before starting the engine allows fuel to ow from the
tank to the carburetor. Turning the fuel valve to the “OFF”
position after shutting o the engine stops the ow of
fuel from the gas tank to the carburetor. Always keep the
fuel valve in the OFF” position when you are not using the
mini bike.
The choke lever is used for starting the engine when it is
cold or when you live in a cold weather climate. It is located
above the air lter on the back of the engine. The choke
lever increases the amount of fuel in the air/fuel mixture
that is delivered to the engine. See the photo to the right.
“Start - Choke Fully ON “Run - Choke Fully OFF
The engine stop switch is used to turn o the engine.
When the switch is in the “OFF” position it will remove the
spark from the ignition system. To start and ride the mini
bike, push the small red button (top). This is the “RUN”
position. To shut o the engine, push the large red button
(bottom). This is the “OFF” position.
Throttle
The throttle controls the speed of the engine. To increase
engine speed, twist the throttle grip toward you. To re-
duce engine speed, twist the throttle grip away from you.
The throttle is spring loaded and will return to the closed
position (engine idle) when you remove your hand.

Operating Controls
Rear Brake Lever
The brake lever is used to apply the brake to the rear wheel
and will slow or stop the mini bike. When you pull back on
the lever, brake uid is forced into the brake caliper causing
the caliper to close on the brake disc. The amount of force
that you use when pulling the brake lever will determine
how much braking power is applied. To release the rear
brake, release the brake lever.
Pull Starter Cord
Air Filter
The air lter is used to keep dirt and large objects out
of the engine’s air supply. It is located at the rear of the
engine under the air lter cover. Examine the lter before
each ride to be sure it is not dirty and/or full of debris. You may
also use air lter oil (usually in spray cans) to keep the lter
owing properly.
The Pull Starter Cord is used to start the engine and has a
recoil mechanism to retract the cord after the engine has
been started. It is located on the right side of the mini-bike,
directly below the front of the seat.
Spark Plug
The spark plug is used to produce the spark that res the
engine. You should never touch the spark plug when the
engine is running or you will be shocked. Please refer to the
Basic Maintenance Procedures section of this manual for
detailed instructions on cleaning and replacing a spark
plug.

Before Riding
Before you ride, you must be absolutely sure that you and your mini bike are ready to ride. To help
you get prepared, this section of the manual will discuss how to evaluate your riding readiness and
how to preform our recommended pre-ride inspection of your mini bike. If you are a parent, please
be sure you have read the section Important Message to Parents on page 4.
Are you Ready to Ride?
Before you ride your mini bike for the rst time, we strongly recommend the following:
1. Completely read this manual.
2. Be sure you have read and understand all of the safety messages and labels.
3. You know how to operate all of the mini bikes controls.
Before each ride, we also strongly recommend that you:
1. Are in good physical and mental condition.
2. Are free of alcohol and other drugs.
3. Are wearing an approved mini bike helmet with a tight chin strap, eye protection and other
protective clothing.
Protective Gear & Apparel
For your safety, we strongly recommend that you always wear an approved helmet, eye protection,
boots, gloves, long pants and a long sleeved jersey , shirt or jacket whenever you ride. Although
complete protection is not possible, wearing the proper gear can reduce the chance of and severity
of injuries when you ride.
Not wearing a helmet increases the chance of serious injury or death in a crash. Be
sure you always wear your helmet and other protective apparel when you ride.
Helmets and Eye Protection - Your helmet is your most important piece of riding gear because
it oers the best protection against head injuries. A good helmet will be approved by a testing
organization independent of the helmet manufacturer and will have a chin strap that can be tight-
ened securely. Open-face helmets oer some protection, but a full-face helmet oers the most
protection. When purchasing a helmet, regardless of style, look for a DOT (Department Of Transporta-
tion) sticker (USA only). If the helmet has been tested by an independent organization such as the
Snell Institute, you will usually nd their logo on a tag inside the padding of the helmet
Additional Riding Gear - In addition to your helmet and eye protection, we also recommend:
1. Sturdy o-road riding boots to help protect your feet, ankles and lower legs.
2. O-Road riding gloves to protect your hands.
3 Riding pants with knee and hip pads, a riding jersey with elbow pads and a chest/shoulder
protector.

Is the Mini Bike Ready to Ride?
Before each and every ride you take, it is extremely important that you inspect the mini bike and
make sure any problems you nd are corrected. A pre-ride inspection is a must because o-road
riding can be very tough on the mini bike and you do not want to have a breakdown far from help.
Improperly maintaining your mini bike or failing to correct a problem before
riding can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed. Always preform a pre-ride
inspection before any ride and correct any problems.
Note to Parents: If a youngster will be preforming any of the following pre-ride inspection procedures, it is
your responsibility to provide careful supervision and make sure they are performed correctly.
Pre-ride Inspection
Check the following items before you get on the mini bike:
Tires - Use a tire pressure gauge to check the air pressure
(10-15 PSI)
. Inate or deate as needed.
Also check for signs of damage or excessive wear.
Rims - Inspect the rim to be sure it is not bent or damaged.
Leaks - Look under the mini bike for signs of leaking uid such as engine oil or gasoline.
Engine Oil - Check the level of engine oil and add if needed.
Fuel - Check the level of fuel in the gas tank. Add if needed. Be sure the gas cap is tightened securely.
Drive Chain - Inspect the drive chain condition and slack. Adjust and lubricate if needed. Also check
the chain tensioner for wear and replace when it is worn. For detailed instructions on drive chain
slack adjustment, see the Basic Maintenance Procedures section of this manual.
Brake Cable - Inspect the brake cable for kinks or other damage and replace if needed. Inspect all
accessible nuts and bolts. Tighten them if it is needed.
Spark Plug - Check the spark plug for looseness. Tighten if needed. Be sure the cap is fastened to the
spark plug properly.
Nuts & Bolts - Look over entire mini bike for loose nuts and bolts. Tighten if needed.
Check the following items after you get on the mini bike:
Handle Bars - Be sure mini bike steers freely and handle bars are properly secured.
Throttle - Check the throttle freeplay and adjust if needed. Rotate the throttle to be sure it moves
easily and freely. Make sure that it snaps shut automatically when you release it in all steering
positions.
Brakes - Squeeze the brake lever to be sure the brakes are working properly.
Remember, be sure to take care of any problems you nd or have your Monster Moto dealer correct
it before you ride.

Basic Operation & Riding
This section of the manual gives basic information on how to begin riding your mini bike. In this
section we will cover how to start and stop the engine, how to use the throttle and brakes, and things
you need to do when you are nished riding.
To protect your new engine and enjoy optimum performance and service life, be sure you break-in
your mini bike properly. To do this, avoid full throttle starts and rapid acceleration for the rst 15 miles
(25 km) of riding.
Before riding this mini bike, be sure you have read this entire manual up to this point including the
section titled Important Safety Information & Before Riding.
Even if you have ridden other mini bikes in the past, take time to get familiar with the way the
Monster Moto mini bike works and handles. Always practice in a safe area until you have built your
skill level to a point at which it is safe to ride.
For your safety, avoid starting or operating the mini bike in an enclosed area with
poor ventilation, such as a garage. The mini bike’s exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide
which can collect rapidly in an enclosed area and result in illness or death.
Your mini bike is not equipped with lights. Do not ride at night.

Braking Technique
This section will cover basic braking technique for your mini bike. To slow or stop the
mini bike, squeeze the brake lever rmly and smoothly. Gradually increase your braking
pressure as you feel it is needed. When you come to a stop, put your foot down to balance the mini
bike.
Generally, reduce your speed and complete your braking before you begin a turn. Avoid braking or
closing the throttle quickly while turning. Either of these actions may cause one or both of the wheels
to slip. Any wheel slip will reduce your control over the mini bike and could cause a crash.
When riding in wet or rainy conditions, or on loose surfaces such as mud or sand, your ability to
maneuver and stop the mini bike will be reduced. All of your actions should be done in a smooth and
steady manner under these conditions. Rapid acceleration, braking, or turning can cause you to lose
control of the mini bike. For your safety, exercise extreme caution when riding under wet, rainy, and/
or muddy conditions.
Parking & Post Ride Inspection
When you have nished riding, lower the kick stand to support your mini bike. Turn the engine stop
switch to the “OFF” position. If you are through riding for the day, turn the fuel valve to the “OFF”
position. Always park the mini bike on a at level surface. If you will be storing the mini bike for a
long period of time, turn the fuel valve to the “OFF” position while the engine is still running. Open
and close the throttle repeatedly until the engine stops running on its own. This uses up any fuel that
still remains in the carburetor. This will help you avoid carburetor problems that can occur when your
mini bike is stored for long periods of time with gasoline left in the carburetor.

Maintaining your MMB80 Mini Bike
Keeping your mini bike in perfect operating condition is absolutely essential to your safety. It is also
the best way to protect your investment, get maximum performance, avoid breakdowns, and have
more fun. To help keep your mini bike well maintained, this section includes a maintenance schedule
for required servicing and step-by-step instructions on how to perform specic maintenance tasks. In
this section you will also nd important safety precautions, and tips for keeping your Monster Moto
mini bike looking good.
Careful pre-ride inspections and good maintenance are invaluable. The service intervals in this
section are based on average riding conditions. More frequent service is needed if you subject your
mini bike to severe use, or ride in unusually wet and dusty areas. Frequent checks of the air cleaner
are very important to help you avoid engine damage.
Improperly maintaining this mini bike or failing to correct a problem before you

before each ride and follow the maintenance schedule in this section.
Note to Parents: As a parent, it is up to you to make sure the mini bike is properly maintained and kept
in safe operating condition. For youngsters, learning how to take care of a mini bike and perform basic
maintenance can be an important part of their riding experience. However, if you allow a youngster to
perform or assist in any maintenance task, such as lling the tank with gasoline, you need to provide close
supervision and make sure the task is performed correctly.
Failure to properly follow maintenance instructions and precautions can cause you
to be seriously hurt or killed. Always follow the procedures and precautions in this manual.
Important Safety Precautions
Make sure the engine is o before you begin any maintenance or repairs. This will help eliminate the
following hazards:
1. Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust - Be sure you have adequate ventilation
whenever you operate the engine.
2. Burns from hot mini bike parts - Let the engine and exhaust system cool o before you
touch them.
3. Injury from moving parts - Do not run the engine unless instructed to do so.
Read all instructions before you begin a procedure. Make sure you have all of the tools and skills
required. To help prevent the mini bike from falling over, park it on a rm, level surface, using the
side stand or a maintenance stand to provide support. To reduce the chance of a re or explosion,
be careful when working around gasoline. Use only a non-ammable (high ash point) solvent such
as kerosene or mineral spirits to clean parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks, and ames away from all fuel
related parts.

Maintenance Schedule
Regular inspection and service is required to keep your mini bike in safe and reliable riding
condition. Below is a maintenance schedule showing when components need to be inspected or
serviced. Some items on the list can be performed with basic mechanical skills and hand tools; oth-
ers require more extensive procedures requiring special training, tools and/or equipment. If you do
not feel capable of preforming any of the procedures described in this manual or if you need assis-
tance, contact your nearest authorized dealer. If you decide to do your own maintenance, use only
replacement parts that you have purchased from a Monster Moto dealer or parts purchased directly
from Monster Moto.
Because this mini bike does not have an odometer, service intervals in the maintenance schedule
are expressed in terms of hours ridden. To avoid missing required maintenance, we suggest you
develop a reliable way to record riding time. Always perform the pre-ride inspection at each
scheduled maintenance interval.
Each item on the maintenance schedule requires some mechanical knowledge. You will nd that
some items in the table (marked * and **) may require a higher level of mechanical skill and special
tools. If you do not feel capable of preforming any procedure, please consult your nearest Monster
Moto dealer.
Note: Service your mini bike more frequently when you ride in wet or dusty conditions.
SEE MONSTERMOTO.COM FOR SIMPLE HOW-TO VIDEOS FOR ALL BASIC MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
* Can be performed by owner with proper tools and knowledge, otherwise consult a service center.
** Recommended to be performed by authorized service center.

Basic Maintenance Procedures
Fuel Recommendation
The engine in your mini bike has been designed to run on any gasoline with a pump octane rating
of 86 or higher. Most service stations will display the octane rating above each pump. Although it is
not required, Monster Moto recommends use of gasoline with a 92 octane rating or higher to ensure
maximum performance and reliability. This engine is not designed to work with ethanol blended fuel.
Use of a lower octane gasoline can cause pre-detonation in the engine. When this occurs, you will
hear a persistent “pinging or “spark knock” which, if severe, can cause engine damage. It is how-
ever no cause for concern if you hear light pinging while the engine is under hard acceleration,
such as climbing up a hill. If pinging occurs under normal load and a steady engine speed, switch
brands of gasoline and be sure you are using the proper octane rating. Use of unleaded fuel is
recommended because it produces fewer engine deposits and extends the life of the engine and
exhaust components.
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline. Never use gasoline that has been mixed with oil. Avoid
getting dust, dirt and water into the fuel tank.
Fuel
Refueling Procedure
1. Twist the fuel tank cap counter-clockwise and remove the cap from the tank.
2. Using a funnel, add fuel to the tank until the level reaches about 2 inches from the top of the
tank.
3. Twist the fuel cap clockwise until it is securely tight.
Gasoline is highly ammable and explosive. You can be burned or seriously injured
when handling gasoline. Always stop the engine. Only handle gasoline outdoors. Clean all spills im-
mediately.
