Adjusting the engine idling speed
The engine idling speed must be checked and, if
necessary, adjusted as follows at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance and lubrica-

NOTE:
A diagnostic tachometer is needed to make this
adjustment.

throttle stop screw at the carburetor. To in-

it, turn the screw in direction (b).
NOTE:
If the specified idling speed cannot be obtained as
described above, have a Yamaha dealer make the
adjustment.
