ADJUSTING THE PILOT SCREW
(For EUROPE)
1. Adjust:
• Pilot screw "1"
Adjustment steps:
To optimize the fuel flow at a smaller
throttle opening, each machine's pilot
screw has been individually set at the
factory. Before adjusting the pilot
screw, turn it in fully and count the
number of turns. Record this number
as the factory-set number of turns
out.
a. Turn in the pilot screw until it is
lightly seated.
b. Turn out the pilot screw by the
factory-set number of turns.
ADJUSTING THE ENGINE IDLING
SPEED
1. Start the engine and thoroughly
warm it up.
2. Adjust:
• Engine idling speed
Adjustment steps:
a. Turn the throttle stop screw "1"
until the specified engine idling
speed.
Using a digital engine tachometer for
idle speed adjustment, detect the en-
gine idling speed by bringing the
sensing element "c" of the engine ta-
chometer close to the ignition coil "2".
ADJUSTING THE VALVE
CLEARANCE
This section is intended for those who
have basic knowledge and skill con-
cerning the servicing of Yamaha mo-
torcycles (e.g., Yamaha dealers,
service engineers, etc.) Those who
have little knowledge and skill con-
cerning servicing are requested not to
undertake inspection, adjustment,
disassembly, or reassembly only by
reference to this manual. It may lead
to servicing trouble and mechanical
damage.
• The valve clearance should be ad-
justed when the engine is cool to
the touch.
• The piston must be at Top Dead
Center (T.D.C.) on compression
stroke to check or adjust the valve
clearance.
1. Remove:
• Seat
• Fuel tank
Refer to "SEAT, FUEL TANK
AND SIDE COVERS" section.
2. Drain:
• Coolant
Refer to "CHANGING THE
COOLANT" section.
3. Remove:
• Right radiator
Right to "RADIATOR" section in
the CHAPTER 5.
• Carburetor
Refer to "CARBURETOR" section
in the CHAPTER 5.
• Spark plug
• Upper engine bracket
• Cylinder head cover
Refer to "CAMSHAFTS" section
in the CHAPTER 5.
4. Remove:
• Timing mark accessing screw "1"
• Crankshaft end accessing screw
"2"
• O-ring
5. Check:
• Valve clearance
Out of specification
→
Adjust.
Checking steps:
a. Turn the crankshaft counterclock-
wise with a wrench.
b. Align the T.D.C. mark "a" on the
rotor with the align mark "b" on the
crankcase cover when piston is at
T.D.C. on compression stroke.
In order to be sure that the piston is at
Top Dead Center, the punch mark "c"
on the exhaust camshaft and the
punch mark "d" on the intake cam-
shaft must align with the cylinder
head surface, as shown in the illustra-
tion.
c. Measure the valve clearance "e"
using a feeler gauge "1".
Record the measured reading if the
clearance is incorrect.
Pilot screw (example):
2 turns out
To increase idle speed
→
Turn the
throttle stop screw "1" in "a".
To decrease idle speed
→
Turn the
throttle stop screw "1" out "b".
Engine idling speed:
1,750–1,950 r/min
Valve clearance (cold):
Intake valve:
0.10–0.15 mm
(0.0039–0.0059 in)
Exhaust valve:
0.17–0.22 mm
(0.0067–0.0087 in)
