THROTTLE GRIP ADJUSTMENT

Inadequate throttle grip free distance could cause the engine

speed to rise suddenly when you turn the handlebars. The

correct throttle grip free play distance is between 0.078 in.

(2 mm) and 0.24 in. (6 mm). If more or less movement is

present, adjust the throttle grip as follows:

Pull back the rubber boot to gain access to the adjustment

nut.

Rotate the adjustment nut in or out to obtain the correct

play.

Recheck the throttle grip free distance. Readjust if it is

still not within the correct limits.

WARNING:

Do not operate the dirt bike if the throttle grip free play dis-

tance is less than 0.078 in. (2 mm) or more than 0.24 in.

(6 mm). Operating the vehicle with an incorrect amount of

throttle grip 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

dirt bike 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 1,350 and 1,650 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.
