2022 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Vaquero ABS Throttle Control System
Throttle Control System
Check the throttle grip play in accordance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart, and adjust it if necessary. Adjustment should be done by an authorized Kawasaki dealer.
Throttle Grip
The throttle grip controls the butterfly valves in the throttle body. If the throttle grip has excessive play due to either cable stretch or maladjustment, it will cause a delay in throttle response, especially at low engine speed. Also, the throttle valve may not open fully at full throttle. On the other hand, if the throttle grip has no play, the throttle will be hard to control, and idle speed will be erratic.
Inspection
Check that there is 2 3 mm (0.08 0.12 in.) throttle grip play when lightly turning the throttle grip back and forth.
A. Throttle Grip
B. 2 – 3 mm (0.08 – 0.12 in.)
WARNING
Operation with improperly adjusted, incorrectly routed, or damaged cables could result in unsafe riding conditions. Be sure the control cables are adjusted and routed correctly, and are free from damage.
