NOTE: One must bear in mind that
the purpose
of these calibration
screws
is to maintain the engine R.P.M.
at it's peak power, a lower or upper speed
will actually result in less vehicle perfor-
mance.
The point of maximum power, in the 1987
Stratos/Escapade occurs at about
7000
R.P.M. while the maximum permissible
engine speed (red line)
is 7500 R.P.M.
Adjustment Procedure
To change the calibration screw position;
back
off its locking nut and change the
position
of the calibration screw head.
The notch on the screw head
must be
aligned with the desired numeral position.
See illustration.
.,.,. CAUTION: Back off the calibration
T screw locking nut only far enough
to allow a change of position of the
screw head.
Never attempt to remove
the locking nut
or the calibration screw.
Make sure the adjustment
is set at the
same position for all three (3) screws .

WARNING: Always retorque lock-
ing nut

Steering Mechanism
Inspect the steering mechanism for tight-
ness
of components (steering arms, tie
rods, ball joints, spring coupler bolts, etc.).
If necessary, replace or retighten.
•
WARNING: Check the condition
of the skis and the ski runners.
Replace if more than half worn.
Steering Adjustment
Skis should have a toe out of 3 mm ( 1/8").
To check, measure the distance between
each ski at the
front and rear of the ski.
The front distance should be 3 mm (1/8")
more than the rear when the handlebar
is horizontal.
IMPORTANT: Close the front of the skis
manually to eliminate all slack from the
steering mechanism.
