8.6.2 Adjusting the Throttle 
Cable
– Remove the shroud, b 5.1
The throttle cable must be adjusted 
to ensure the throttle shutter opens 
and closes properly.
The adjustment procedure is the 
same for loop-handled and bike-
handled machines.
Make sure on both versions that the 
throttle cable sleeves are properly 
seated in their guides and butt 
against their stops – this is 
important for the adjustment.

position.
