HOME
INTERACTIVE EXHAUST CABLE
ADJUSTMENT
1. Remove intake cover assembly. See
COVER ASSEMBLY.
NOTES
The actuator cover used on models with Translucent
body panels does not need to be removed in order to
adjust cable.
When the ignition/light switch is turned off with the inter-
active exhaust valve in motion, the valve will stop par-
tially open which will cause an inaccurate adjustment.
For a description of the inactive exhaust operation, see
7.6 INTERACTIVE EXHAUST
2. To close the valve in the muffler, cycle the actuator:
a. Hold the throttle wide open.
b. Turn the engine cut-off switch to RUN.
c. Turn the ignition/light key switch ON.
d. Watch the actuator cycle close/open/close.
