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.

Vehicle speed limiter

1. Loosen the locknut.
2. To increase the maximum engine power

available and the maximum speed of the ATV,
turn the adjusting screw in direction (a). To
decrease the maximum engine power avail-
able and the maximum speed of the ATV, turn
the adjusting screw in direction (b). Do not
turn the adjusting screw out more than 14.5
mm (0.57 in) or the throttle cable could be
damaged. Always make sure the throttle lever
free play is adjusted to 2.0–3.2 mm (0.08–
0.13 in). (See page 9-22.) 

WARNING! Im-

proper adjustment of the speed limiter and
throttle could cause throttle cable damage
or improper throttle operation. You could
lose control, resulting in an accident.
