THROTTLE OPERATION

Check for any deterioration or damage to the throt-
tle cables. Check the throttle grip for smooth opera-
tion. Check that the throttle opens and automatically
closes in all steering positions.
If the throttle grip does not return properly, lubricate
the throttle cables and overhaul and lubricate the
throttle grip housing.
For cable lubrication: Disconnect the throttle cables
at their upper ends. Thoroughly lubricate the cables
and their pivot points with a commercially available
cable lubricant or a light weight oil.
If the throttle grip still does not return properly,
replace the throttle cables.
With the engine idling, turn the handlebar all the
way to the right and left to ensure that the idle
speed does not change. If idle speed increases,
check the throttle grip freeplay and the throttle cable
connection.
Measure the throttle grip freeplay at the throttle grip
flange.
FREEPLAY: 2 – 4 mm (1/16 – 3/16 in)
Throttle grip freeplay can be adjusted at either end
of the throttle cable. Minor adjustment is made with
the upper adjuster.
Loosen the lock nut, turn the adjuster as required.
Tighten the lock nut while holding the adjuster.
