FUEL SYSTEM As shown below, each of the asterisk (*) marked parts is located between the air/fuel passage and has its own air/fuel mixture adjustable range in terms of the throttle valve opening. The chart indicates that the car- buretor can supply correct air/fuel mixture to the engine in any range because of the overlapping adjustable range of the each part.

FUEL SYSTEM CARBURETOR TUNING IN PRACTICE In the previous section, basic principles of carburetor tuning have been discussed. Described in this section are the bases for carburetor tuning required when coping with variations in air (oxygen) concentration. Variation in Air (Oxygen) Concentration and Carburetor Conditions As the air, affected by the temperature, altitude and humidity, gets expanded or compressed, air (oxygen) concentration varies accordingly.

FRONT FORK AND STEERING 15-9 FRONT FORK TUNING PROCEDURE Test ride the motorcycle and find out how the front suspension reacts on various types of surface. According to the symptom noticed, adjust the front fork to the best setting for rider and race track conditions. To adjust, attempt changing fork oil capacity and compression/rebound damping following the instructions below.
15-10 FRONT FORK AND STEERING SUSPENSION BALANCE Balancing the front to rear suspension properly is the most critical adjustment for suspension performance. If the front forks are adjusted harder than the rear suspension, such as changing to heavier front fork oil, stiffer compression and rebound setting, air pressure build up in the forks and so on, the front forks will collapse less on bumps.
