Idle speed adjustment

The idle speed adjustment screw is located on the 

throttle body. It is accessible from the left side of the 

vehicle. A special diagnostic tool is necessary to 

communicate with the vehicle ECU and accurately read 

(display) the engine rpm. For this reason, idle adjust should 

be left to a Cannondale service technician.

1. To adjust the idle, allow the engine to reach operating

temperature 158°F (70°C).

2. Set the idle speed by turning the adjuster (1) in

direction (a) to increase idle speed, or direction (b) to

decrease idle speed.

Throttle lever adjustment

See “2002 Model Specifications” starting on page 161.

Loosen locknut and then turn the adjuster until the 

specified freeplay is reached. Tighten the locknut.

NOTE : 

If the proper adjustment cannot be obtained or the

throttle lever does not operate properly, the cable end

at the throttle body can be adjusted, however, access to

it is difficult and should be left to a qualified service

technician. See your Cannondale motorsports dealer

for servicing.
