BASIC CARE

Bare Bones Guide

Regularly clean and lubricate all moving parts, tighten nuts/bolts, and adjust as required. This in-cludes all steering, bicycle pedals, suspension, and wheel parts. See the Detailed Hardware tables for hardware and torque specifications for your ONYX Motorbike.
Keep your bike clean by wiping the frame with a damp cloth. If needed, apply a mild cleaner or soap mixture to the cloth and wipe the frame. Dry your bike by wiping with a clean, dry cloth. Nev-er hose down or submerge the bike or any components in water or liquid as the electrical system may be damaged.
Occasionally check wiring and connectors, especially up and around the handlebars, to ensure that the connectors are secure and not damaged. Also check the condition of wire wraps. Check cable ties to make sure that they are intact. Replace any that are loose, frayed, or partially cut.
Properly maintain your battery by keeping it charged or charging before use. It is possible and nor-mal for the battery to lose charge if it is left sitting for several days, so it may be necessary to top it off for up to a couple hours so to experience the performance of a fully charged battery.
If you plan on not riding for a week or more, be sure keep the battery charged to more than a 50% level and store the battery at or close to 59 degrees F. See the BASIC RCR MODEL MAINTENANCE section of your RCR Owner’s Manual for more information.
Whenever possible, store your ONYX Motorbike under shelter or cover it with a quality cover. Avoid leaving the bike in the rain or exposed to corrosive materials. If exposed to rain, dry your bike afterwards and apply anti-rust treatment to chain and other unpainted steel surfaces.
Riding on and near beach, coastal, or on frequently winterized salted roads can corrode your bike. If you ride in these areas, wipe down your bike frequently and wipe or spray all unpainted parts with anti-rust treatment. Please note that damage due to corrosion is NOT covered under warranty so special care should be given to extend the life of your bike when used in coastal areas or on winterized roads.
If the front hub, front fork, or swing arm bracket have been submerged in water or liquid, they should be taken apart to be cleaned and greased with a quality grease. Though the rear hub motor is protected and sealed against dirt and water intrusion to an IP54 level, it should not be submerged in water. A splash through a small creek is fine, but it doesn’t mean your bike should go swimming. If the rear hub motor is submerged, dry it off thoroughly and air dry.
If the paint has become scratched or chipped in the metal, use colored touch up paint or even clear nail polish on the scratch to help prevent rust. If rust has already started, carefully clean the rust off with a small wire brush or emery cloth, and coat the scratch with touch-up paint.

HARDWARE

Most of the hardware on the RCR model is standard and can be found in your local hardware store. Below is a table of common hardware used on the ONYX RCR along with the torque specifications for each bolt. Use a calibrated torque wrench to tighten bolts to their respective specifications and no more. For bolts that require threadlocker, we reccommend red Loctite 272. You can always request hardware from us via phone or email: 805-370-1991 or info@onyxmotorbikes.com This table below is an at-a-glance guide for the frequently used hardware on the bike. This should give you an idea of what tools to keep on hand for longer rides.
