Engine Idle Speed Inspection; Throttle Cable Adjustment - Suzuki gw250F Owner's Manual

ENGINE IDLE SPEED INSPECTION

Inspect the engine idle speed. The
engine idle speed should be 1300 –
1500 r/min when the engine is warm.
NOTE: If the engine idle speed is not
within the specified range, ask your
Suzuki dealer or a qualified mechanic
to inspect and repair the motorcycle.
NOTE: Do not adjust the throttle stop
screw 1 because this screw is posi-
tioned at the best setting.

THROTTLE CABLE ADJUSTMENT

To adjust the cable play:
1. Slide the boot 1.
2. Loosen the lock nut 2.
3. Turn the adjuster 3 so that the
throttle grip has 2.0 – 4.0 mm
(0.08 – 0.16 in) play.
4. Tighten the lock nut 2.
5. Reinstall the boot 1.
! WARNING
Inadequate throttle cable play can
cause engine speed to rise sud-
denly when you turn the handle-
bar. This can lead to loss of rider
control and an accident.
Adjust the throttle cable play so
that engine idle speed does not
rise due to handlebar movement.
