IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT
NOTE
The Blast P3 is equipped with an auto-enrichener that auto-
matically increases the idle speed and richens the fuel mix-
ture at startup. To correctly set the idle speed, the auto-
enrichment cycle must be complete (idle speed has slowed
from startup).
Check idle speed adjustment:
●
After the bike is warmed up.
Regular idle speed is 1200 RPM. Set idle speed using
remote idle adjustment screw. See
Figure 1-43.
1. Perform dealer road test first.
NOTE:
Be sure the engine is warmed up to normal operating temper-
ature. Be aware that because there are variations in individ-
ual components, it is possible for a properly warmed-up
engine to idle at 2000 RPM.
2. See Figure 1-42. The ignition coil cable is located on the
left side of the bike behind the fuel supply valve. Place
