Throttle Cable Adjustment
Inspect the throttle grip for smooth operation in all steering positions. Check and adjust the throttle cable in accordance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart. Check that the throttle grip has 2 3 mm (0.08 0.12 in.) of play and turns smoothly.

• Turn the decelerator cable adjuster until there is no play when the throttle grip is completely closed. Tighten the locknut.

• 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.
