PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-21
THROTTLE CABLE
Adjust the throttle cable play A as follows:
THROTTLE CABLE ADJUSTMENT
• Loosen the lock-nut 1.
• Turn adjuster 2 so the throttle grip has 2 – 4 mm (0.08 – 0.16
in) play in circumference.
• Tighten the lock-nut 1.
Throttle cable play A: 2 – 4 mm (0.08 – 0.16 in)
Cable adjuster lock-nut: 2.2 N·m (0.22 kgf-m, 1.60 lbf-ft)
* Inadequate throttle cable play can cause engine
speed to rise suddenly when you turn the handle-
bars. This can lead to loss of rider control.
* Adjust the throttle cable play so that engine speed
does not rise due to handlebars movement.
After the adjustment is completed, check that handle-
bars movement does not raise the engine idle speed
and that the throttle grip returns smoothly and auto-
matically.
