THROTTLE BODY COVER
THROTTLE OPERATION
Reusing an
abnor-
mally bent or kinked
throttle cable can
prevent proper
throttle slide opera-
tion and may lead
to a loss of throttle
control while riding.
Check for any deterioration or damage to the throt-
tle cable. Check that the throttle lever for smooth
operation.
Check the throttle opens and automatically closes in
all steering positions.
If the throttle lever does not return properly, lubri
cate the throttle cable and overhaul and lubricate
the throttle housing (page 15-10).
If the throttle lever still does not return properly,
replace the throttle cable.
With the engine idling, turn the handlebar all the
way to the right and left to ensure that the idle
speed does not change. If idle speed increases,
check the throttle lever free play and the throttle
cable connection.
Measure the throttle lever free play at the tip of the
throttle lever.
THROTTLE LEVER FREE PLAY:
3-8 mm (1/8-5/16 mm)
Throttle lever free play can be adjusted at either end
of the throttle cable.
