Adjustment Of Engine Idling Speed 2; Shock Absorber Adjustment 2; Adjusting Transmission Chain Tightness - Malaguti XTM 50 Workshop Manual

ADJUSTMENT OF ENGINE IDLING SPEED
Start the engine and warm it up for several minutes at
about 1000-2000 RPM, while occasionally revving it to
4000-5000 RPM. The engine is warm when it quickly
responds to the throttle.
To adjust engine idling speed, turn the throttle stop screw
(G - F.16i). Turn the screw clockwise to increase idling
speed or counter-clockwise to decrease it.
Check engine idling speed with an electronic revolution
counter connected to the spark plug cable.
SHOCK ABSORBER ADJUSTMENT
The vehicle's seat can be lowered by moving the lower
fixing element (M - F.17i), double hole in the bottom
fixing bracket).
ADJUSTING TRANSMISSION CHAIN
TIGHTNESS
To adjust chain tightness, loosen the wheel fixing nut
(B - F.18i) and the lock nut (V - F.18i) and turn the
adjustment screw (C - F.18i). After adjusting, tighten
the lock nut (V - F.18i) and nut (B - F.18i).
This operation must be performed on both
sides of the rear fork; adjustment must be
identical on both sides; to obtain this con-
dition, refer to the scale (G - F.18i) located
on the fork.
An excessively taut chain will put the en-
gine and drive components under exces-
sive strain; maintain chain tightness with-
in the specified limits (F.18i).
Whilst carrying out these adjustments, hold
the vehicle firmly in place, otherwise it will
fall over.
