For cold starting, a choke laver is mounted on ‘the lett-hand handlebar, and is connected to the carburetiors by a cable. To prevent carburettor icing, coolant Is routed via a small-bors hoae from the union on the back of the eylinder head to the carburettor bodies fang than Back to the cooling systam via a union an the water pump cover. Air |s drawn into the cerburettors through fan alr filter which is housed undar the carburettors. The exhaust system is a two-into-one design Many cf the fuel systom cervice procedures are considered routine maintenance items land for that reason ave included in Chapter 1 Precautions Warning: Petrol (gasoline) is extremely flammable, so take ‘extra precautions whon you work 2.1 On SW, SX and SY models, release the screws holding the fering to the brackets ‘on tho front of the tank ‘and the vacuum hose from the inlet ‘manitole ‘on any part of the fuel system.
