ZX-K5 Assembly made simple: Get the family involved

1. Unpack and Organize

Remove packaging and lift off the top half of the shipping cage.

Sort components into groups: seats, roll cage, wheels, suspension, steering, battery, and accessories.

2. Install Seats and Suspension

Slide the seats onto their mounting rods and press firmly into place.

Remove the temporary support bar and install the suspension shocks in its position.

3. Front-End Assembly

Fit the front bull bar and lift the buggy onto jack stands.

Install the front stub axles and lower control arms, securing them with castle nuts and split pins.

Install the front shock absorbers.

Attach the steering wheel with wheels facing straight.

4. Fuel System Setup

Mount the fuel tank using the supplied spacer sleeves for proper clearance.

Connect the vent line to the air box and the fuel line (with filter) to the carburetor.

5. Fit Fenders and Wheels

Install front and rear fenders before mounting wheels for easier access.

Identify wheels: front = tall and narrow, rear = wide and lower profile.

Mount all wheels, then inflate tires to the recommended PSI.

6. Battery and Roll Cage

Place the battery and connect positive (+) first, then negative (-).

Install the main rear roll cage hoop and side connecting bars.

Hand-tighten all bolts, then torque once aligned.

Add the rear ABS fairing panels to finish the assembly.

7. Final Safety Check

Confirm all bolts are tightened.

Check tire pressure and wheel nut torque.

Ensure steering is centered.

Verify fuel lines and battery connections are secure.

Compare cockpit dimensions, ride height, load capacity, and more.

Explore the key differences between a modern ABS full-fairing utility vehicle with upright, comfortable seating, and a stripped-back, long-travel race dune buggy built for speed and handling.
