TIP

If the specified idling speed cannot be
obtained as described above, have a
Yamaha dealer make the adjustment.

EAU21382

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.

EAU21401

Valve clearance 

The valve clearance changes with use,
resulting in improper air-fuel mixture
and/or engine noise. To prevent this
from occurring, the valve clearance
must be adjusted by a Yamaha dealer
at the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.

Engine idling speed:

1250–1350 r/min

1. Throttle cable free play
