    Choosing accessories for your vehicle is an important decision. Genuine Apollo accessories, which are avail-able only from a Apollo dealer, have been designed, tested, and approved by Apollo for use on your vehicle. Many companies with no connection to Apollo manufacture parts and accessories or offer other modifications for Apollo vehicles.

  • Page 21: Aftermarket Tires And Rims

    Accessories fitted to the handlebar or the front fork area can create instability due to improper weight distribution. If accessories are added to the handlebar or front fork area, they must be as lightweight as possible and should be kept to a minimum. Bulky or large accessories may seriously affect the stability of the motorcycle.

  • Page 69: Carburetor - Idle

    12.3 Carburetor – idle The idle setting of the carburetor has a big influence on the starting behavior, stable idling and the response to throttle opening. That means that an engine with a correctly set idle speed is easier to start than if the idle is set wrongly. The carburetor and its components are subject to increased wear caused by engine vibration.

  • Page 70: Checking The Engine Oil Level

    If the speed rise is too high, reduce the idle speed to a normal level and repeat the preceding steps. If the procedure described here does not lead to satisfactory results, the cause may be a wrongly dimensioned idling jet. If you can turn the idle adjusting screw to the end without any change of engine speed, you have to install a smaller idling jet.
