IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the idle speed properly,
you need a tachometer. If you do
not have one, ask your Suzuki
dealer to perform this adjustment.
To adjust the idle speed:
1. Start the engine and warm it
up.
2. Turn the throttle stop screw 1
in or out so that the engine
idles at 1400 – 1600 r/min.
THROTTLE CABLE
ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the throttle cable play:
1. Remove the boot.
2. Loosen the lock nut 1.
3. Turn the adjuster 2 in or out
so that the throttle lever end
has proper play of 3.0 – 5.0
mm (0.12 – 0.20 in).
4. Tighten the lock nut 1.
5. Recheck the throttle cable
play. Readjust it if it is not
within the specified limits.
6. Replace the boot.
WARNING
Improper adjustment of the idle
speed can be hazardous.
An idle that is too high can
cause the ATV to lurch forward
when you shift to first gear.
This may cause an accident.
Excessive engine wear may
also result if idle speed is
adjusted improperly or when
the engine is not fully warmed
up.
Adjust the idle to the correct
speed. Make sure the engine is
fully warm before adjusting the
idle speed.
WARNING
Operating the vehicle with an
inadequate throttle cable play
can be hazardous.
Inadequate throttle cable play
can cause engine speed to rise
suddenly when you turn the
handlebar. This can lead to
loss of rider control.
Adjust the throttle cable play
so that engine idle speed does
not rise due to handlebar
movement.
