2-Speed Adjustment Although pre-adjusted at the factory, the two-speed can be adjusted to shift at the point that suits you best. Under normal circumstances, it should shift slightly before the engine reaches maximum power. The actual distance traveled will vary with the gear ratio and tune of the engine. There are two adjustment screws (see fig 1) that must be changed evenly for the two-speed to function correctly.
