Throttle
1. Pull the dust cover (2) back.
2. Loosen the upper lock nut (4).
3. Turn the upper adjuster (3).
Turning the adjuster in clockwise direction
will decrease freeplay and turning it in
counterclockwise direction will increase
freeplay.
4. Tighten the lock nut. Return the dust cover
to its normal position.
5. After adjustment, check for smooth rotation
of the throttle grip from fully closed to fully
open in all steering positions.
If the adjuster is threaded out near its limit
or the correct freeplay cannot be reached,
turn the adjuster all the way in and back out
one turn. Tighten the lock nut, install the
dust cover and make the adjustment with the
lower adjuster.
