High Altitude Carburetor Adjustment And Other Parts Replacement - Honda VTX1300T 2009 Owner's Manual

High Altitude Carburetor Adjustment and Other Parts Replacement

Your engine's air-fuel mixture becomes
overly rich when operated at high altitudes.
Above 6,500 feet (2,000 m), a rich
mixture can cause driveability problems,
reduce engine performance, and increase
fuel consumption. To compensate, you
can have the carburetor adjusted and other
parts replaced for high altitude riding. See
your Honda dealer.
However, the carburetor and other parts
must be returned to standard factory
specifications before riding again at lower
altitudes (below 5,000 feet, 1,500 m). See
your Honda dealer.
Sustained riding at lower altitudes with the
lean high-altitude setting may cause rough
idling, stalling, or engine damage from
overheating.
