Adjusting The Carburetors; Adjusting The Engine Idling Speed - Yamaha Diversion 900 Owner's Manual

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR

Adjusting the carburetors

The carburetors are important parts of
the engine and require very sophisti-
cated adjustment. Therefore, most car-
buretor adjustments should be left to a
Yamaha dealer, who has the neces-
sary professional knowledge and expe-
rience. The adjustment described in
the following section, however, may be
serviced by the owner as part of routine
maintenance.
CAUTION:
@
The carburetors have been set and
6
extensively tested at the Yamaha
factory. Changing these settings
without sufficient technical knowl-
edge may result in poor perfor-
mance of or damage to the engine.
