How to adjust the CARB mixture on a Yamaha?
Set idle to an RPM that is low but still steady — about 1000 RPM if you have a smooth-running bike. Now go to the right-side carb and screw the mixture screw in in half-turn increments until the engine starts running slower. Now, turn the mix screw out in half turn increments.
What should idle be on a Yamaha XS650?
Re-set the idle to 1200, check again, and do a final sync screw adjustment if necessary. NOTES: This should take about 30 seconds once you’ve done it a couple of times. The XS650 is not a space ship, and this does just as good a job as a manometer for all practical purposes. Some people like to sync at a higher idle, such as 1400 or even 1600 RPM.
Can a Yamaha XS650 be used as a manometer?
The XS650 is not a space ship, and this does just as good a job as a manometer for all practical purposes. Some people like to sync at a higher idle, such as 1400 or even 1600 RPM. That’s fine by me, but there really shouldn’t be much difference. Start with the mix screw set to specs.

How to adjust the carburetor on a Yamaha yz450fr?
Turn both the air screw and throttle screw inward until they LIGHTLY seat. Now back each one outward one and one half turns. This is the factory setting. I am going to give you a web site where you can download a free PDF factory service manual for a YZ450FR. I believe the model is a bit different but the carbs are the same.
Where is the idle mix screw on a Yamaha carb?
Also those pictures don’t show the air/fuel mixture screw (not called idle mix screw) the air/fuel mixture screw is located on the outside of the carb just like every other 2 stroke outboard carb in the world! Stripper in my own Mind!
What’s the correct mix screw setting on a Yamaha?
The correct mix screw setting is exactly half-way between the two spots where the engine just begins to start running poorer. Then back the mix screw out an additional 1/8th to 1/4 turner to make sure that you are slightly rich, and not slightly lean. Running lean harms the engine.
