CARBURETOR CHOKE
The V65 choke system uses a fuel enrichening
circuit controlled by a bystarter valve. The by·
starter valve opens the enrichening circuit via cable
when the choke lever on the handlebar is pushed up.
Check for smooth upper choke lever operation.
Lubricate the choke cable, if the operation is not
smooth.
Push the choke lever on the handlebar all the way
up to fully open. Make sure the choke valve is
open by trying to move the choke lever on the
carburetor, after lifting the fuel tank up.
There should be no free play.
Adjust if necessary, by loosening the choke cable
clamp on the carburetor and moving the choke
cable casing so the choke lever is fully open.
Tighten the clamp.
Pull the choke lever all the way to fully closed.
Make sure the choke valve is fully closed by check-
ing for free play in the cable between the lever on
the carburetor and cable casing.
Reinstall the removed parts in the reverse order of
disassembly.
AIR CLEANER
Make sure the fuel tank is less than half·full. Drain
it, if it is more than half-full.
Remove the tank mounting bolts and lift the fuel
tank up and hold it in place with the tank support
rod.
Remove the air cleaner cover screws.
