THROTTLE CONTROL CABLES
1WARNING1WARNING
Throttle cables must not pull tight when handlebars are
turned fully to left or right fork stops. Be sure wires and
throttle cables are clear of fork stops at steering head so
they will not be pinched when fork is turned against
stops. Steering must be smooth and free with no binding
or interference. Interference with steering could cause
loss of vehicle control which could result in death or
serious injury.
Check throttle cable adjustment in accordance with proce-
dure given in Section 1 of Sportster Models Service Manual.
