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 freeplay, flip the
throttle lever back and
forth repeatedly.
