Periodic Maintenance Procedures
Idle Speed Inspection
•
Start the engine and warm it up thoroughly.
•
With the engine idling, turn the handlebar to both sides to
check for any changes in the idle speed.
If handlebar movement changes the idle speed, the throt-
tle cable may be improperly adjusted, incorrectly routed,
or damaged. Be sure to correct any of these conditions
before riding.
WARNING
Operation with improperly adjusted, incorrectly
routed, or damaged cables could result in an un-
safe riding condition.
•
Check idle speed with a suitable tachometer.
If the idle speed is out of the specified range, adjust it (see
Idle Speed Adjustment).
