MAINTENANCE

Throttle Body/Idle RPM

Idle RPM is preset by the manufacturer. If the engine idle speed is not

satisfactory, please see your Polaris dealer for adjustment.

Throttle Cable Freeplay

1. Remove the four cover

screws from the right han-

dlebar control and remove

the cover.

2. With the handlebars

straight ahead, place very

light pressure on the throt-

tle lever. A gap of 2-3 mm

should be visible between

the throttle arm stop pin

and the throttle arm.

If adjustment is needed:
1. Locate the throttle cable

adjuster. Squeeze the end of

the rubber boot and slide it

back far enough to expose

the inline cable adjuster

locknut.

2. Loosen the adjuster lock nut.
3. Rotate the boot to turn the

adjuster until 2-3 mm of

freeplay is achieved between

the stop pin and the throttle

arm. While adjusting free-

play, flip the throttle lever

back and forth repeatedly.
