- If the throttle grip does not return properly, have the throttle control system checked by an authorized Kawasaki dealer.

- If the throttle cables cannot be adjusted with the adjuster at the upper end of the throttle cable, further adjustment of the throttle cables should be done by an authorized Kawasaki
dealer. - With the engine idling, turn the handlebars to each side. If handlebars movement changes the idle speed, the throttle cables may be improperly adjusted or incorrectly routed, or they may be 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.
