THROTTLE LEVER ADJUSTMENT

Inadequate throttle lever free distance could cause the engine

speed to rise suddenly when you turn the handlebars. The

correct throttle free play distance is between 0.12 in. (3 mm)

and 0.20 in. (5 mm). If more or less movement is present,

adjust the throttle lever as follows:

Remove the adjuster cover by sliding it back on the

cable.

Loosen the throttle lever lock nut.

Turn the large adjustment nut in or out to obtain the cor-

rect play.

Retighten the throttle lever lock nut.

Recheck the throttle lever free distance. Readjust if it is

still not within the correct limits.

WARNING:

Do not operate the ATV if the throttle lever free play dis-

tance is less than 0.12 in. (3 mm) or more than 0.20 in.

(5 mm). Operating the vehicle with an incorrect amount

of throttle lever free play could cause the rider to lose

control, resulting in serious personal injury.

IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT

Excessive engine wear can result when the idle speed is

incorrect. An idle speed that is too high could also cause the

ATV to lurch forward when you start the engine.
NOTE: You must have a tachometer to adjust the idle speed.

If you don't have one, have this service performed by an

authorized service center.
To adjust idle speed:

Start the engine and allow it to warm up.

Turn the engine idle screw in or out until the engine idle

speed is between 1,450 and 1,550 r/min. on the tachom-

eter.

CAUTION:

Make sure the engine is fully warm before adjusting the

idle speed. Adjusting the idle speed before the engine is

warm could result in excessive engine wear.

FUEL HOSE

Inspect the fuel hose for damage and fuel leakage. If any

defects are found, the fuel hose must be replaced with a

proper equivalent.

WARNING:

Gasoline and its vapors are highly flammable and ex-

plosive. To prevent serious personal injury and property

damage, handle it with care. Keep away from ignition

sources, sparks, and open flames; handle outdoors only,

do not smoke, and wipe up spills immediately.
