6. Adjust:
•Idle speed
Refer to “IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT”
section in the CHAPTER 3.
7. Insert the thin electric conductors 2 (lead)
into the TPS coupler 1, as shown, and
connect the tester to them.
CAUTION:
Do not insert the electric conductors
more than required because it may
reduce the waterproof function of the
coupler.
Make sure that a short-circuit does not
develop between the terminals because it
may cause damage to electrical compo-
nents.

9. Adjust:
•TPS output voltage
Adjustment steps:
Adjust the installation angle of the TPS 1 to
obtain the specified output voltage.
NOTE:
Measure the output voltage accurately with
a digital electronic voltmeter that gives an
easy reading of a small voltage.

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.

TUN
CAUTION:
The carburetor is extremely sensitive to
foreign matter (dirt, sand, water, etc.).
During installation, do not allow foreign
matter to get into the carburetor.
Always handle the carburetor and its
components carefully. Even slight
scratches, bends or damage to carburetor
parts may prevent the carburetor from
functioning correctly. Carefully perform
all servicing with the appropriate tools
and without applying excessive force.
When the engine is stopped or when
riding at no load, do not open and close
the throttle unnecessarily. Otherwise, too
much fuel may be discharged, starting
may become difficult or the engine may
not run well.
After installing the carburetor, check that
the throttle operates correctly and opens
and closes smoothly.
Atmospheric conditions and carburetor
settings
The air density (i.e., concentration of oxygen
in the air) determines the richness or lean-
ness of the air/fuel mixture. Therefore, refer
to the above table for mixture settings.
That is:
•Higher temperature expands the air with its
resultant reduced density.
•Higher humidity reduces the amount of oxy-
gen in the air by so much of the water vapor
in the same air.
•Lower atmospheric pressure (at a high alti-
tude) reduces the density of the air.

Main jet adjustment
The richness of the air-fuel mixture at full throt-
tle can be set by changing the main jet 1.
If the air-fuel mixture is too rich or too lean, the
engine power will drop, resulting in poor accel-
eration.
