• 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 idling.

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.
