adjusted to the operator’s desired posi-
tion. To adjust, use the following proce-
dure.

Exhaust System
The exhaust system is designed to reduce
noise and to improve the total perfor-
mance of the engine. If any exhaust sys-
tem component is removed from the
engine and the engine is run, severe
engine damage will result.
Air-Intake Silencer
Used in conjunction with the fuel intake
system is a specially designed air-intake
silencer. The purpose of the silencer is to
quiet the intake of fresh air. Since the fuel
intake system is calibrated with the air-
intake silencer in place, the engine must
never be run with the silencer removed.
Performance will not be improved if the
air-intake silencer is removed. In con-
trast, severe engine damage will occur.
! WARNING
Tighten cap screws according to
specifications to prevent unexpected
“movement” of the handlebar during
operation over rough terrain. DO NOT
position the handlebar so steering
(maximum right/left turning capabili-
ties) or throttle and brake controls
are affected.
