MAINTENANCE Fuel Filters Electronic Throttle Control Switch (ETC) / Throttle Cable Adjustment There are two fuel filters located within the fuel pump assembly. The fuel pump is non-serviceable. If the internal fuel pump filters require service, the fuel pump and fuel tank must be replaced as an assembly. NOTE: Sportsman XP requires a new adjustment procedure. 1. Slide the boot back far enough to expose the inline cable adjuster sleeve and loosen the adjuster locknut. 2. Remove the (4) screws and cover from the RH control. 3.
With handlebars centered and wheels pointing forward, slowly turn the adjuster sleeve counter-clockwise (out) just until the gap is removed between the throttle arm and the throttle arm stop (see illustration below). NOTE: While moving the adjuster sleeve, “flip” the throttle lever slightly to remove slack in the cable. NOTE: See the “Electronic Parts Catalog” for more information. For all other information related to the EFI System, refer to Chapter 3. Vent Line 1. Check the vent line from the fuel tank for signs of wear, deterioration, damage or leakage. Replace the line every two years. 4. Turn the cable adjuster sleeve clockwise (in) 1.5 - 2 turns; tighten locknut and reinstall boot.
After this adjustment there should be .079-.118” (2-3 mm) gap between throttle arm and throttle arm stop. 2. Verify vent line is routed properly and secured with an appropriate number of cable ties. CAUTION Make sure lines are not kinked or pinched Throttle Operation Check for smooth throttle opening and closing in all handlebar positions. Throttle lever operation should be smooth and lever must return freely without binding. 1. Place the gear selector in neutral. 2. Set parking brake. 3. Start the engine and let it idle. 4. Turn handlebars from full right to full left. If idle speed increases at any point in the turning range, inspect throttle cable routing and condition.
If cable is routed properly and in good condition, no adjustment is required. 5. Reinstall the RH control cover and ensure the O-ring is properly in place. Securely tighten the (4) screws. 6. Place the vehicle in PARK and start the engine. Turn the handlebars from full left to full right while listening for any change in engine speed. If engine speed changes, loosen the locknut and turn the adjuster sleeve clockwise (in) an additional 1/2 turn and repeat this step. 5. Replace the throttle cable if worn, kinked, or damaged. 2.10
