- Turn the accelerator cable adjuster until 2~3 mm (0.08 0.12 in.) of throttle grip free play is ob- tained. Tighten the locknut.
- If the throttle cables cannot be adjusted with the adjuster at the upper end of the throttle cable, fur- ther adjustment of the throttle cables should be done by an authorized Kawasaki dealer.
