Yamaha recommends that all be-ginners start off with the speed limiter adjusting screw turned in and the power reduction plate installed in the exhaust man-ifold to limit the power available while they learn. The limiter screw may be gradually turned out to increase maximum speedas the beginner becomes more familiar with operating the motorcycle. Parents should decide when to adjust the motorcyclefor more power as their youngster’s riding skills improve. Once the rider can operate with skill at the top speed permitted byadjusting the speed limiter alone, the power reduction plate can be removed. Since removal of this plate will result in a sig-nificant increase in power, turn the speed limiter back in again; adjust it out in stages as you did before.Motorcycles are single track vehicles.
