Why should I.
Change oil before first start up? To prevent cam galling. The oil that comes with these engines is primarily a rust preventative oil, not really a lubricating oil.
Why change to a better chain soon after bike assembly? To prevent premature sprocket wear. And to avoid a chain that lengthens (wears) so fast you have to adjust the chain way too often.
Why install a rim lock in the rear wheel? So that you can run much lower tire pressure, which improves traction, off road. And gives you an opportunity to see how truly awful the tubes are, that come with the bike.
Why run cables of flexible multi strand wire from the front down tube to the outer edge of the rear brake pedal, and the shift lever? To keep brush and small trees from bending the levers...ARH
