Task #14 - Throttle Operation

Service Interval and Recommended Maintenance Manual
Check for any deterioration or damage to the throttle
cables.
Check the throttle grip for smooth operation. Check
that the throttle returns to full closed from full open,
smoothly and automatically in all handlebar positions. If
the throttle does not operate smoothly, then dissemble
the switch housing and disconnect the throttle cables at
the right grip. Then lubricate the cables thoroughly by
spraying a cable lubricant or light weight oil down the
cable ends and operating the cable back and forth
repeatedly. Reassemble the throttle cables and switch
housing and then readjust the free play as per the
instructions below.
With the engine idling, turn the handlebar all the way
from stop to stop and ensure that the idle speed does not
change. If the idle speed changes, then check the
freeplay (below) and also check the cables for proper
routing, interference and security.
Throttle Free Play:
Measure the Free Play at the throttle grip flange. Free
play should be 2-6 mm (1/12 - 1/4 in).
For minor adjustments, use the adjusters at the upper
ends of the cables (on the grip). Loosen the lock nut and
turn the adjust to obtain the free play. After the
adjustment, tighten the lock nut securely and reposition
the boot properly.
If you can not get the proper free play with the upper
adjusters, then adjust using the lower fittings, on the
carb end. Same thing... loosen the lock nuts, turn the
adjusters until you have the proper free play and then
re-secure the lock nuts.
After you have made ANY adjustments, recheck the
throttle operation and free play as outlined above.
