EXHAUST EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

The exhaust emission control system is composed of a pulse secondary air injection system and lean carburetor settings.
No adjustment should be made except idle speed adjustment with the throttle stop screw. The exhaust emission control system is
separate from the crankcase emission control system.

SECONDARY AIR SUPPLY SYSTEM

The secondary air supply system introduces filtered air into the exhaust gases in the exhaust port. Fresh air is drawn into the exhaust
port by the function of the PAIR control valve.
This charge of fresh air promotes burning of the unburned exhaust gases and changes a considerable amount of hydrocarbons and
carbon monoxide into relatively harmless carbon dioxide and water vapour.
The reed valve prevents reverse air flow through the system. The PAIR control valve reacts to high intake manifold vacuum and will cut
off the supply of fresh air during engine deceleration, thereby preventing after burn in the exhaust system.
No adjustments to the secondary air supply system should be made, although periodic inspection of the components is recommended.

OXIDATION CATALYTIC CONVERTER

This motorcycle is equipped with an oxidation catalytic converter.
The oxidation catalytic converter is in the exhaust system. Through chemical reactions, it converts HC and CO in the engine's exhaust
to carbon dioxide (CO
) and water vapour.
