Throttle Grip Play Inspection/Adjustment
•
Refer to the Throttle Control System Inspection in the Pe-
riodic Maintenance chapter.
Chok e Lever Operation
○
Do not use the choke lever except when the engine has a
starting difficulty like in cold weather (10°C, 50°F or below)
or at high altitude. The DFI system has an automatic
choke system, using a water temperature sensor, and an
atmospheric pressure sensor, which provide startability.
NOTE
○
Pull [A] the choke lever fully when using. The choke
doesn’t work with the lever knob halfway.
○
When flooded, do not crank the engine with the throt-
tle fully opened like a carburetor. This promotes engine
flooding because more fuel is supplied automatically by
the DFI system.
Choke Lever Play Inspection

Push the choke lever [A] fully and ensure by your finger
that the choke cam [B] has the specified play.
Choke Lever Free Play

Chok e Lever Play Adjustment
•

cable has the proper amount of free play.

moval/installation of the throttle cables and choke cable.
