Throttle Lever Free Play - TM Carburetor
Throttle lever free play must always be at a specified
clearance (A) .010
-.030 (0.25-0.80 mm) between the
throttle lever (B) and the throttle block (C). This clearance
is controlled by the throttle cable (D).
If adjustment is needed follow these steps:
1. Check the idle RPM and verify it is within the specified
range.
2. Shut off engine.
3. Locate the throttle cable that is attached to the
carburetors and adjust the throttle free play by
adjusting the barrel nut (E) and lock nuts (F).
4. Once the proper free play of .010
-.030 (.25-.80mm)
is set, tighten the lock nuts.
5. Verify the oil pump index marks are within
specification.
6. Check the idle RPM and verify it is within the specified
range.
NOTE: If the idle speed screw is adjusted inward and
the cable sleeve is not adjusted to take up the throttle
lever clearance, the engine may misfire or kill upon
initial throttle opening.
Choke Lever Adjustment - Mikuni VM
1. Flip the choke toggle to the “OFF” position.
2. Loosen choke cable lock nut(s).
3. Turn cable sleeve adjuster counterclockwise on the
carburetor until choke toggle has zero free play, then
rotate it clockwise until 1/8" to 1/4" (.3 - .6) toggle free
play is evident.
NOTE: Verify the plunger does not lift when checking
the free play.
4. Tighten adjustment lock nut.
5. Repeat steps on the other carburetor.
Throttle Lever Free Play: .010"-.030" (0.25-0.8mm)
When adjusting throttle lever free-play, always verify the
engine RPM does not rise with bars in the full low and
full up-right Rider Select positions (if applicable) and
while turning the handlebars to the full left and full right
positions.
After any idle speed adjustments are made, the throttle
lever clearance and the oil pump adjustment must be
checked and adjusted.
