IDENTIFICATION EAS20130 IDENTIFICATION EAS20140 VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER The vehicle identification number “1” is stamped into the right side of the steering head pipe. EAS20150 MODEL LABEL The model label “1” is affixed to the frame. This information will be needed to order spare parts.
FEATURES EAS20170 FEATURES EAS32D1017 OUTLINE OF THE FI SYSTEM The main function of a fuel supply system is to provide fuel to the combustion chamber at the optimum air-fuel ratio in accordance with the engine operating conditions and the atmospheric temperature. In the conventional carburetor system, the air-fuel ratio of the mixture that is supplied to the combustion chamber is created by the volume of the intake air and the fuel that is metered by the jet used in the respective carburetor.
FEATURES EAS32D1018 FI SYSTEM The fuel pump delivers fuel to the fuel injector via the fuel filter. The pressure regulator is installed in the fuel rail, and maintains the fuel pressure that is applied to the fuel injector at 245–255 kPa (34.8–36.3 psi) (2.45–2.55 kg/cm ).

Measurement mode (for calibrating the dis- tance-compensation tripmeter’s reading) The distance-compensation tripmeter is a fea- ture intended to provide a more accurate tripmeter reading for enduro riding. Calibrating this meter in accordance with the distances specified on the enduro course map will help fa- miliarize the rider with the course.
