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.2. Set the idle to the specified engine
speed by adjusting the throttle
stop screw. Turn the screw in di-
rection
a to increase engine
speed and in direction
b to de-
crease engine speed.
NOTE:@ If the specified idle speed cannot be
obtained by performing the above ad-
justment, consult a Yamaha dealer. @1. Throttle stop screw
Standard idle speed:
950 ~ 1,050 r/min

Engine overheating
EW000070
WARNING
@ Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may be blown
out under pressure, which could cause serious injury. Open the radiator cap as follows. Wait until the engine has
cooled. Remove the radiator cap stopper by removing the screw. Place a thick rag like a towel over the radiator cap
and slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the detent. This procedure allows any residual pressure to escape.
When the hissing sound has stopped, press down on the cap while turning counterclockwise and remove it. @NOTE:@ If it is difficult to get the recommended coolant, tap water can be temporarily used, provided that it is changed to the recom-
mended coolant as soon as possible. @
Wait until the
engine has cooled.
Check the coolant level in the
reservoir tank and/or radiator.
Level is OK.Level is low, check the
cooling system for leakage.
No
leakage.Leakage.
Ask a Yamaha dealer to inspect
and repair the cooling system.Add coolant. (See NOTE.)
Restart the engine. If the engine overheats again, ask a
Yamaha dealer to inspect and repair the cooling system.
