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.

- A. Throttle Grip
- B. 2 3 mm (0.08 0.12 in.)
If the play is incorrect, loosen the locknut on the upper end of the throttle cable and turn the ad- juster to obtain the specified play. Then, tighten the locknut toward the adjuster.

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.

WARNING
Operation with improperly adjusted, incorrectly routed, or damaged cables could result in an unsafe riding condition. Be sure the control cables are adjusted and routed correctly and are free from damage.
