- Check if the throttle grip moves smoothly from fully open to close and if the throttle closes quickly and completely in all steering positions by the return spring. If not, check the throttle cable routing, grip free play, and cable damage. Then lubricate the throttle cable.
- With the engine idling, turn the handlebar both ways and check if handlebar movement changes the idle speed. If so, the throttle cable may be improperly adjusted or incorrectly routed, or damaged. Be sure to correct any of these conditions before riding.
- Reinstall the removed parts.
WARNING
Operation with improperly adjusted, incorrectly routed, or damaged cable could result in an unsafe riding condition. Be sure the control cable is adjusted and routed correctly and is free from damage.
