Carburetor adjustment
The carburetor is a vital part of the engine and re-
quires very sophisticated adjustment. Most adjust-
ing should be left to a Yamaha dealer who has the
professional knowledge and experience to do so.
However, the idling speed may be performed by
the owner as a part of the usual maintenance rou-
tine.CAUTION:
The carburetor was set at the Yamaha factory
after many tests. If the settings are disturbed
by someone without sufficient technical
knowledge, poor engine performance and
damage may result.
