THROTTLE CABLE PLAY
Inspect initially at five hours of operation and every
30 hours thereafter.
Remove the fuel tank. ( 4-2)
A twin throttle cable system is used in this motorcycle. Cable 1
is for pulling and cable 2 is for returning. To adjust the cable
play, adjust the returning cable first and then adjust the pulling
cable.
RETURNING CABLE PLAY
The returning cable should be adjusted to have a thread length A
of 3 mm (0.12 in) as shown in the illustration. If the adjustment is
necessary, adjust the thread length in the following way:
Loosen the locknut 3.
Turn the nut 4 to obtain the thread length A of 3 mm
(0.12 in).
Tighten the locknut 3 securely.
PULLING CABLE PLAY
The pulling cable should be adjusted to have a cable play B of
2 – 4 mm (0.08 – 0.16 in) as shown in the Fig. If the adjustment
is necessary, adjust the cable play in the following way:
Loosen the locknuts (5, 6).
Turn the adjuster 7 or 8 to obtain the cable play B of
2 – 4 mm (0.08 – 0.16 in).
Tighten the locknuts (5, 6) securely.
After the adjustment is completed, check that handle-
bar movement does not raise the engine idle speed and
that the throttle grip returns smoothly and automati-
cally.
