1. Check:
Brake pedal height
a
Out of specification
→ Adjust.
2. Adjust:
Brake pedal height
Brake pedal height a:
5 mm (0.20 in)
Pedal height adjustment steps:
Loosen the locknut
1.
Turn the adjusting nut
2 until
the pedal height
a is within
specified height.
Tighten the locknut.
WARNING
Adjust the pedal height
between the maximum È and
the minimum É as shown. (In
this adjustment, the bolt 3
end b should protrude out of
the threaded portion 4 but
not be less than 2 mm
(0.08 in) c away from the
brake pedal 5).
After the pedal height adjust-
ment, make sure that the rear
brake does not drag.

REGLAGE DU FREIN ARRIERE
1. Contrôler:
Hauteur de la pédale de frein a
Hors spécifications → Ajuster.
2. Régler:
Hauteur de la pédale de frein
Hauteur de la pédale de
frein a:
5 mm (0,20 in)
Étapes du réglage de la hauteur de
la pédale de frein:
Desserrer le contre-écrou 1.
Faire tourner l’écrou de réglage 2
jusqu’à ce que la hauteur de la
pédale a soit conforme aux spéci-
fications.
Serrer le contre-écrou.
AVERTISSEMENT
Régler la hauteur de la pédale
entre le maximum È et le mini-
mum É comme illustré. (Dans ce
réglage, l’extrémité b du boulon
3 doit dépasser de la partie file-
tée 4 mais ne doit pas être dis-
tante de moins de 2 mm (0,08 in)
c de la pédale de frein 5).
Après le réglage de la hauteur de
la pédale de frein, contrôler que
le frein arrière ne frotte pas.

Float height
1. Measure:
Float height
a
Out of specification
→ Adjust.
Float height:
8.0 mm (0.31 in)
Measurement and adjustment
steps:
Hold the carburetor in an upside
down position.
NOTE:Slowly tilt the carburetor in the
opposite direction, then take the
measurement when the needle
valve aligns with the float arm.
If the carburetor is level, the
weight of the float will push in
the needle valve, resulting in an
incorrect measurement.
Measure the distance between
the mating surface of the float
chamber and top of the float
using a vernier calipers.
NOTE:The float arm should be resting on
the needle valve, but not com-
pressing the needle valve.
If the float height is not within
specification, inspect the valve
seat and needle valve.
If either is worn, replace them
both.
If both are fine, adjust the float
height by bending the float tab
b on the float.
Recheck the float height.

Hauteur du flotteur
1. Mesurer:
Hauteur du flotteur a
Hors spécifications → Régler.
Hauteur du flotteur:
8,0 mm (0,31 in)
Etapes de la mesure et du réglage:
Tenir le carburateur à l’envers.
N.B.:
Incliner lentement le carburateur
dans le sens opposé puis prendre la
mesure lorsque le pointeau s’aligne
avec le bras du flotteur.
Si le carburateur est horizontal, le
poids du flotteur repoussera le
pointeau vers l’intérieur et la
mesure sera erronée.
A l’aide d’un pied à coulisse,
mesurer la distance entre la surface
de contact de la cuve à niveau
constant et le haut du flotteur.
N.B.:
Le bras du flotteur doit reposer sur le
pointeau mais sans le comprimer.
Si la hauteur du flotteur est hors
spécifications, contrôler le siège de
pointeau et le pointeau.
Si l’une ou l’autre de ces pièces est
usée, les remplacer toutes les deux.
Si ces deux pièces sont en bon état,
régler la hauteur du flotteur en
courbant la languette du flotteur
b.
Contrôler à nouveau la hauteur du
flotteur.
