CHECKING THE OPERATION
OF THE THROTTLE CONTROL
Carefully read p. 2 (GENERAL SAFETY RULES).
WARNING
Do not use your vehicle if it has a damaged, kinked or
twisted throttle cable. This can interfere with the
regular operation of the throttle, and cause the
throttle to stick on. This can make you lose control of
the vehicle while riding, which can lead to upsets, and
subsequent serious injury or death.
Make sure that the rotation of the front forks does not pull
on the throttle cable and change the engine idle speed,
and that the throttle grip returns smoothly and automati-
cally to its idle position when released. If it does not:
NOTE
For the lubrication of the components use the
specific lubricant available on the market.
♦ Check the position and lubrication of the following com-
ponents:
– throttle cable sheath;
– throttle grip adjuster (17);
– cable ends;
– throttle control.
Check the throttle control control adjustment, see above
(CHECKING THE OPERATION OF THE THROTTLE
CONTROL).
NOTE
Use a good grade of vehicle cable lubricant to
lubricate the components of the throttle system.
