2.11.1. ACCELERATOR CONTROL<br />
IDLING ADJUSTMENT<br />
Adjust the idling every time it is irregular.<br />
To carry out this operation, proceed as follows:<br />
• Ride for a few miles until reaching the normal running<br />
temperature, then stop the engine.<br />
• Position the vehicle on the centre stand.<br />
• Remove the left inspection cover, see 7.1.4<br />
(REMOVING THE RIGHT AND LEFT INSPECTION<br />
COVERS).<br />
• Connect an electronic revolution counter to the spark<br />
plug cable.<br />
• Start the engine.<br />
The engine minimum rpm must be approximately the<br />
following: 1500 ± 100 rpm.<br />
In this case the engine does not make the rear wheel rotate.<br />
If necessary:<br />
• Act on the adjusting screw (1) positioned on the<br />
carburettor.<br />
By SCREWING IT (clockwise), you increase the engine<br />
rpm.<br />
By UNSCREWING IT (anticlockwise), you decrease the<br />
engine rpm.<br />
• Act on the throttle grip, accelerating and decelerating a<br />
few times to make sure that it functions correctly and to<br />
check if the idling speed is constant.<br />
ADJUSTING THE ACCELERATOR CONTROL<br />
The idle stroke of the throttle grip must be 2 – 3 mm,<br />
measured on the edge of the grip itself.<br />
If this is not the case, proceed as follows:<br />
• Position the vehicle on the centre stand.<br />
• Withdraw the protection element (3).<br />
• Loosen the lock nut (4).<br />
• Rotate the adjuster (5) in such a way as to restore the<br />
prescribed value.<br />
• After the adjustment, tighten the lock nut (4) and check<br />
the idle stroke again.<br />
• Put back the protection element (3).<br />
CAUTION<br />
After the adjustment, make sure that the<br />
rotation of the handlebar does not modify the<br />
engine idling rpm and that the throttle grip<br />
returns smoothly and automatically to its<br />
original position after being released.<br />
