Engine Idle Speed
Adjusting the Engine Idle Speed
The best way to assure proper carburetion is
to see your Honda dealer for regularly
scheduled servicing, including carburetor
adjustment.
Remember, idle speed adjustment is not a
“cure-all” for other problems in your
engine’s fuel-delivery system. Adjusting the
idle will not compensate for a fault
elsewhere.
For information about high altitude
carburetor adjustment, see “High Altitude
Carburetor Adjustment.”

The engine must be at normal operating
temperature for accurate idle speed
adjustment. 10 minutes of stop-and-go
riding is sufficient.
1.
Warm up the engine, place the
motorcycle on its side stand.

Connect a tachometer to the engine.
