Engine Idle Speed
Adjusting the Engine Speed
The best way to assure proper carb
uretion is
to see your 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.” 2 P. 105
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.
2.
Adjust idle speed with the throttle stop
screw.
Idle speed: 1,300 ± 100 rpm
