The following procedure covers the idling adjust-
ment, which should be performed whenever the idle
speed is disturbed.

colorless, odorless poisonous gas.
Inhal-
ing carbon monoxide can cause serious
brain injury or death.
DO NOT run the en-
gine in enclosed areas.
Operate only in a
well-ventilated area.
WARNING
The engine and exhaust system get ex-
tremely hot during normal operation and
can cause serious burns. Never touch a hot
engine or an exhaust pipe during idle speed
adjustment.
•
Adjust the idling speed 1 350
∼
1 450 r/min (rpm)
by turning the idling adjusting screw.
A. Idling Adjusting Screw
•
Open and close the throttle a few times to make
sure the idling speed does not change, and read-
just if necessary.
•
With the engine idling, turn the handlebar both
ways and check if handlebar movement changes
the idling speed. If so, the throttle cable may be
improperly adjusted, incorrectly routed, or dam-
aged. Be sure to correct any of these conditions
before riding.

sult in an unsafe riding condition. Replace
a damaged control cable before operation.
