THE 08 shop manual says 16.5 mm for 800r and 20mm for 600sdi

Set it at 16mm. A little extra oil can't hurt it.

What do you measure?

 

[tex78]

The free length of the cable from out of the splitter box

i WOULD SAY MY 08 WAS VERY SIMALAR TO THAT,, SEEMED TO BE DOWN TO 3/4 MARK ON THE OIL AND BURNT ABOUT 3/4 OF MY FUEL OR FILLED IT UP AND ABOUT 30LITRES

seemed to me a fair bit of oil usage,, I did not check the cable but late season did notice bit more exhaust/oil in the snow so maybe a bit fat,,

Hi there, i was wondering if turning the adjuster in or clock wise will lean out the oil or ritchen it up. Also does it shorten or lenghten the amount of cable exposed?

 

[tex78]

The more slack in the cable.... The less oil.

Cause it takes more accel to start moving the oil cable then

So to be safe setting the cable at 15.5mm would be ritcher than the 16.5mm spec?

 

[tex78]

yes..............

it's measured at the cable adjustment point on the right side of the sled, behind the muffler. not sure if that's what you mean?
