Servicing Your Honda
1. Pull the rubber dust cover (2) back.
2. Loosen the upper lock nut (3) on the throttle
cable mechanism.
3. Turn the upper adjuster (4).
Turning the adjuster in direction (–) will
decrease freeplay and turning it in direction
(+) will increase freeplay.
4. Tighten the upper lock nut. Return the rubber
dust cover to its normal position.
5. After adjustment, check for smooth rotation of
the throttle grip from fully closed to fully
open in all steering positions.
If the adjuster is threaded out near its limit or
the correct freeplay cannot be reached, turn
the adjuster all the way in and back out one
turn. Tighten the upper lock nut, install the
rubber dust cover and make the adjustment
with the lower adjuster.

Lower Adjustment
The lower adjuster is used for major freeplay
adjustment, such as after replacing the throttle
cables or removing the carburetor. It is also used
if you can not get the proper adjustment with the
upper adjuster.
