Tips & Warnings

• Pocket Rockets are made with a back up starting system should your starter button cease to work. Put the key in the ignition and turn it to "On" and either pull the starter cord on the engine (like a lawn mower) or place your foot on the kick start pedal on the rear left side of the bike (if so equipped) and rapidly "kick" the pedal down.

• Always engage the brake or keep your Pocket Rocket motorcycle on its stand when starting the engine, this will prevent it from "rocketing off" if it slips into gear.
