IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT
NOTE
The Blast P3 is equipped with an auto-enrichener that auto-
matically increases the idle speed and richens the fuel mix-
ture at startup. To correctly set the idle speed, the auto-
enrichment cycle must be complete (idle speed has slowed
from startup).
Check idle speed adjustment:
After the bike is warmed up.
Regular idle speed is 1200 RPM. Set idle speed using remote
idle adjustment screw. See Figure 1-43.
1. Perform dealer road test first.
NOTE:
Be sure the engine is warmed up to normal operating temper-
ature. Be aware that because there are variations in individ-
ual components, it is possible for a properly warmed-up
engine to idle at 2000 RPM.
2. See Figure 1-44. The ignition coil cable is located on the
left side of the bike behind the fuel supply valve. With the
bike running, place hand held tachometer on ignition coil
cable.
3. Press the tachometer button to obtain a reading for the
current RPM.
4. See Figure 1-43. Set engine speed by turning the idle
adjuster clockwise to increase speed or counter clock-
wise to decrease speed.
5. Repeat steps 1, 2 and 3 until the tachometer has a read-
ing of 1200 RPM.
6. Turn the ignition switch to off position.
