Horsepower Estimation:
Horsepower figures typically range from mid-20s for 400cc models to 40+ hp for 650cc V-Twin models. Precise figures require specific model data.
Carburetion Or Injection:
Likely a mix of Carbureted (Mikuni VM Series or similar) and Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) depending on the specific model and trim level. Manual will detail which.
Efi Details If Applicable:
If EFI equipped, manual will cover throttle body service, injector testing, fuel pump operation, and sensor diagnostics (e.g., MAP, TPS, IAT sensors).
General Atv Dimensions:
