q WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Operating this ATV at speeds too fast for
your skills or the conditions.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Increases your chances of losing control
of the ATV, which can result in an acci-
dent.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always go at a speed that is proper for the
terrain, visibility and operating conditions,
and your experience.
Speed limiter
For riders inexperienced with this model, this
model is equipped with a speed limiter in the
throttle lever housing. The speed limiter limits
the power and top speed of the ATV. Turning
the screw in decreases top speed, and turning it
out increases top speed. This model also has an
air intake restrictor plate to limit the amount of
engine power available.
Yamaha recommends that all beginners start off
with the speed limiter turned in and the air intake
restrictor plate installed to limit the amount of speed
available while they learn. The limiter may be grad-
ually adjusted to increase maximum speed as the
beginner becomes more familiar with operating the
ATV. Parents should decide when to adjust the
ATV for more power as their youngster's riding
skills improve. Once the ATV rider can operate with
skill at the top speed permitted by adjusting the
speed limiter alone, the air intake restrictor plate
can be removed. Since removal of this plate will
result in a significant increase in power, turn the
speed limiter completely back in again; adjust it out
7-10
in stages as you did before.
