Carburetor adjustmentThe carburetors are important parts of
the engine and require very sophisti-
cated adjustment. Most adjustments
should be left to a Yamaha dealer who
has the professional knowledge and
experience to do so. However, the idle
speed may be adjusted by the owner
as part of routine maintenance.
EC000095
CAUTION:@ The carburetors were set at the
Yamaha factory after many tests. If
they are changed, poor engine per-
formance and damage may result.
EAU01168
Idle speed adjustmentNOTE:@ A diagnostic tachometer must be used
for this procedure. @1. Attach the tachometer. Start the
engine and warm it up for a few
minutes at approximately 1,000 to
2,000 r/min. Occasionally rev the
engine to 4,000 to 5,000 r/min.
The engine is warm when it quick-
ly responds to the throttle.

CAUTION:Be sure to use motor oils that do not contain anti-fric-
tion modifiers. Passenger car motor oils (often labeled
“Energy Conserving”) contain anti-friction additives
which will cause clutch and/or starter clutch slippage,
resulting in reduced component life and poor engine
performance.
