Speed limiter
Your ATV was delivered with two speed limiter de-
vices. A vehicle speed limiter adjusting screw and
a removable engine speed limiter plate. Yamaha
recommends that all beginning riders start off with
the vehicle speed limiter adjusting screw fully
turned in and the engine speed limiter plate in-
stalled to limit the amount of speed available while
they learn.
The vehicle speed limiter keeps the throttle from
fully opening, even when the throttle lever is
pushed to the maximum. The adjusting screw may
be gradually turned out as the beginner becomes
more familiar with operating the ATV. Parents
should decide when to adjust the ATV for more
power as their youngster’s riding skills improve.
Once the ATV rider can operate with skill at the top
speed permitted by adjusting the vehicle speed
limiter alone, the engine speed limiter plate can be
removed. Since removal of this plate will result in
a significant increase in power, turn the vehicle
speed limiter adjusting screw completely back in
again and adjust it out in stages as done previous-
ly.
