THROTTLE CABLE ADJUSTMENT
Measure the throttle cable play by
pressing the throttle lever. The throttle
lever should have 3.0 – 5.0 mm (0.12
– 0.20 in) play.
To adjust the throttle cable play:
1. Loosen the lock nut 1.
2. Turn the adjuster 2 in or out to
obtain the correct play.
3. Tighten the lock nut 1.
4. Recheck the throttle cable play.
Readjust it if it is not within the
specified limits.
3.0 – 5.0 mm
WARNING
Operating the vehicle with an
inadequate throttle cable play can
be hazardous.
Inadequate throttle cable play can
cause engine speed to rise sud-
denly when you turn the handle-
bars. This can lead to loss of rider
control.
Adjust the throttle cable play so
that engine idle speed does not
rise due to handlebar movement.
