Idle mixture
1. Adjust the fuel mixture by turning the pilot screw
clockwise until you hear the engine miss or
decrease in speed, then counterclockwise until the
engine again misses or decreases in speed. Set the
pilot screw exactly between these two extreme
positions.
From a fully closed position, the correct setting
(between extremes of rich and lean) will be
approximately:
1 3/4 turns
2. If the idle speed changes after adjusting fuel
mixture, readjust the idle speed by turning the
throttle stop screw.
Drive Chain
(Refer to the Safety Precautions on page 41.
The service life of the drive chain is dependent upon
proper lubrication and adjustment. Poor maintenance
can cause premature wear or damage to the drive
chain and sprockets.
The drive chain should be checked and lubricated as
part of the Pre-ride Inspection (page 33). Under severe
usage, or when the motorcycle is ridden in unusually
dusty or muddy areas, more frequent maintenance will
be necessary.
Inspection
1. Turn the engine off, raise the rear wheel off the
ground by placing a support under the engine, and
shift the transmission into neutral.
2. Check slack in the lower drive chain run midway
between the sprockets.
Drive chain slack should be adjusted to allow the
following vertical movement by hand:
35 – 45 mm (1.37 – 1.77 in)
