ADJUSTING THE SPEED LIMITER

from becoming fully-opened even when the
throttle lever is applied to the maximum posi-
tion. Screwing in the adjusting screw stops the
engine speed from increasing.

WARNING
_
• Particularly for a beginner rider, the
speed limiter should be screwed in com-
pletely. Screw it out little by little as their
riding technique improves. Never remove
the speed limiter for a beginning rider.
• For proper throttle lever operation do not
turn out the adjusting screw more than
12 mm (0.47 in). Also, always adjust the
throttle lever free play to 2 ~ 4 mm (0.08 ~
0.16 in).
