Throttle
Before starting the engine, check the throttle pedal to be sure it is operating smoothly. Make sure it
returns to the idle position as soon as the pedal is released. Regulate the speed of the vehicle by
varying the throttle position. Because the throttle is spring-loaded, the vehicle will decelerate and
the engine should return to idle speed any time your foot is removed from the throttle pedal.
Foot Brake
Before operating the vehicle, push down on the pedal to apply the front and rear brakes. When
pressed, the lever or pedal should feel firm. A soft brake pedal would indicate a possible fluid leak
or low master cylinder fluid level, which must be corrected before riding. Contact your dealer for
proper diagnosis and repairs.
