CHANGE OF THE GEOMETRY OF THE CHASSIS
Change of the steering angle
The BLATA SET-UP SYSTEM includes three areas of the minibike, in which it is possi-
ble to signicantly change the geometry of the chassis. This is the change of the
steering angle using exchangable steering plates, the change of the seat height using
adjustable rear fork supports and the change of the foot rests’ position.
Suitable adjustment of the geometry of the chassis, according to the demands of the
rider and the track characteristics, signicantly improves the control of the minibike
and moves the limits of possibilities during the ride. Following any modication to the
geometry of the chassis pay extra attention during the rst ride, because the minibike
will act in a different manner than what you‘re used to.
The change is possible by exchangable steering plates, which enable to change the
steering angle by values of ±2° to ±4°.
Perform the replacement of the plates in the following manner with the cowling removed.
Remove the steering shock absorber bolt on the bottom holder of the front fork. Loosen the
steering axle nut under the bottom fork holder. Slide out the steering axle. Remove the en-
tire loosened front fork set from the steering neck in the forward direction (we recommend
to have another person assisting, which will be holding this set during the course of the
next steps). Loosen the bolts in the clamps on the steering neck. Slide a rod with a diame-
ter of 6 mm through the steering neck and carefully knock out one plate with the bearing.
Remove the spacer tube and knock out the second plate from the other side.
important warning:
- Always mount the steering plates on to the minibike in a pair with the same
angle difference (same color).
- Always position the steering plates so that the groove in the steering plate
lies on the groove in the steering neck on the frame g. 14.
- The plates in the steering neck must always be positioned against each other (for
example the top plate with bearing in front, the bottom plate with bearing in
the rear) g. 15.

Carefully tap in the required steering plate into one end of the steering neck. Insert the
spacer tube and tap in the second plate from the other side of the steering neck. Pay
attention to the proper positioning of the plates, as it is described above. Place the
front fork set onto the steering neck. Insert spacers between the upper holder of the
fork and the upper plate and between the lower holder of the fork and the lower plate.
Draw the set together with the steering axle and tighten the bolts in the clamps on the
steering neck. Attach the steering shock absorber to the bottom holder of the fork.
