Carburetor setting
The air/fuel mixture will vary depending on
atmospheric conditions. Therefore, it is nec-
essary to take into consideration the air pres-
sure, ambient temperature, humidity, etc.,
when adjusting the carburetor.
Perform a test run to check for proper engine
performance (e.g., throttle response) and
spark plug(-s) discoloration or fouling. Use
these readings to determine the best possi-
ble carburetor setting.
NOTE:
It is recommended to keep a record of all car-
buretor settings and external conditions (e.g.,
atmospheric conditions, track/surface condi-
tions, lap times) to make future carburetor set-
ting easier.
WARNING
The carburetor is a part of the fuel line.
Therefore, be sure to install it in a well-
ventilated area, away from flammable
objects and any sources of fire.
Never look into the carburetor intake.
Flames may shoot out from the pipe if the
engine backfires while it is being started.
Gasoline may be discharged from the
accelerator pump nozzle when the carbu-
retor has been removed.

ACHTUNG:
Der Vergaser reagiert besonders
empfindlich auf Fremdkörper
(Staub, Sand, Wasser usw.). Bei
Arbeiten am Vergaser ein Ein-
dringen von Fremdkörpern ver-
meiden.
Den Vergaser und seine
Bestandteile stets behutsam
handhaben. Auch die kleinsten
Kratzer, Verbiegungen oder
Schäden an Bauteilen des Ver-
gasers können dessen Funktion
bereits beeinträchtigen. Für
Wartungsarbeiten stets das ent-
sprechende Werkzeug verwen-
den und Bauteile niemals
forcieren.
Bei abgestelltem Motor oder
während des Schubbetriebs
nicht unnötig Gas geben und
nehmen. Anderenfalls könnte
der Vergaser überfluten, was
Start- und Betriebsprobleme
verursachen könnte.
Nach der Montage des Verga-
sers sicherstellen, daß der Gas-
drehgriff einwandfrei
funktioniert.
Atmosphärische Bedingungen
und Vergasereinstellungen
Die Luftdichte (Sauerstoff-Konzen-
tration) bestimmt, ob das Gemisch
fett oder mager ist. Deshalb bei der
Gemischeinstellung die obige
Tabelle beachten.
Hierbei gilt:
Mit steigender Temperatur dehnt
die Luft sich aus und nimmt die
Luftdichte ab.
Mit steigender Feuchtigkeit nimmt
der Sauerstoffgehalt der Luft (d. h.
die Luftdichte) ab.
Mit sinkendem Luftdruck (bzw.
steigender Höhe) nimmt die Luft-
dichte ab.

ATTENTION:
Le carburateur est extrêmement
sensible aux corps étrangers (pous-
sière, sable, eau, etc.). Pendant le
montage, veiller à ce qu’aucun
corps étranger ne puisse pénétrer
dans le carburateur.
Toujours manipuler le carburateur
et ses composants avec prudence.
Tout endommagement (rayures
même légères, courbures, etc.) peut
empêcher le carburateur de fonc-
tionner correctement. Effectuer soi-
gneusement tout entretien à l’aide
des outils adéquats et sans forcer.
Lorsque le moteur est arrêté, ou
tourne sans charge, ne pas ouvrir et
fermer inutilement les gaz. Cela ris-
querait d’amener trop de carburant
et de rendre le démarrage difficile
ou d’altérer le fonctionnement du
moteur.
Après avoir monté le carburateur,
contrôler que le papillon fonctionne
correctement et s’ouvre et se ferme
sans problème.
Conditions atmosphériques et réglages
du carburateur
La densité de l’air (c.-à-d. la concen-
tration d’oxygène dans l’air) déter-
mine la richesse ou la pauvreté du
mélange air/carburant. Il convient dès
lors de se conformer au tableau ci-des-
sus pour la composition du mélange.
Tenir compte des trois facteurs suivants:
La température de l’air: la densité de
l’air diminue au fur et à mesure que
l’air se dilate sous l’effet des tempéra-
tures élevées.
Le taux d’humidité de l’air: le taux
d’oxygène diminue proportionnelle-
ment à l’augmentation du taux
d’humidité.
Pression atmosphérique (altitude): la
densité de l’air diminue au fur et à
mesure que la pression atmosphérique
baisse (haute altitude).

ATTENZIONE:
Il carburatore è estremamente sen-
sibile ai materiali estranei (sporci-
zia, sabbia, acqua ecc.). Non far
entrare materiali estranei nel carbu-
ratore durante l’installazione.
Maneggiare sempre con cura il car-
buratore e i suoi componenti.
Graffi, deformazioni o danni anche
leggeri ai componenti del carbura-
tore possono causare malfunziona-
menti. Eseguire sempre la
manutenzione con attenzione, utiliz-
zando gli attrezzi appropriati e
senza esercitare una forza eccessiva.
Quando si arresta il motore o si
viaggia senza carichi, non aprire e
chiudere l’acceleratore se non è
necessario. Altrimenti, può accedere
che venga erogato troppo carbu-
rante, che l’avvio risulti difficoltoso
o che il motore funzioni male.
Dopo l’installazione del carbura-
tore, controllare che l’acceleratore
funzioni correttamente e che si apra
e si chiuda in modo uniforme.
Condizioni atmosferiche e imposta-
zioni del carburatore
La densità dell’aria (vale a dire, la
concentrazione dell’ossigeno
nell’aria) determina la ricchezza o la
povertà della miscela di aria e carbu-
rante. Pertanto, fare riferimento alla
precedente tabella per le impostazioni
della miscela.
Cioè:
In presenza di temperature elevate,
l’aria si espande, riducendo di conse-
guenza la densità.
In presenza di umidità elevata, l’ossi-
geno nell’aria si riduce della stessa
quantità di vapore acqueo che si svi-
luppa nella medesima aria.
In presenza di pressione atmosferica
bassa (ad altitudini elevate), la densità
dell’aria si riduce.

Rear suspension setting
The rear suspension setting should be made
depending on the rider’s feeling of an actual
run and the circuit conditions.
The rear suspension setting includes the fol-
lowing two factors:
1. Setting of spring preload
Change the set length of the spring.
Change the spring.
2. Setting of damping force
Change the rebound damping.
Change the compression damping.
