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 lubrication
chart.
The engine should be warm before
making this adjustment.

NOTE:

The engine is warm when it quickly re-
sponds to the throttle.

Check the engine idling speed and, if
necessary, adjust it to specification by
turning the idle adjusting screw. To in-
crease the engine idling speed, turn the
screw in direction (a). To decrease the
engine idling speed, 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.

EAU21381

Checking the throttle cable
free play

The throttle cable free play should mea-
sure 3.0–5.0 mm (0.12–0.20 in) at the
throttle grip. Periodically check the
throttle cable free play and, if neces-
sary, have a Yamaha dealer adjust it.
