2.11.3 ADJUSTING THE THROTTLE CONTROL

Carefully read 1.3.9 (PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL
INFORMATION).
Check the throttle control cables after the first 625 mi
(1,000 km) and every 4687 mi (7,500 Km) thereafter.
The play of the throttle adjuster must be 0.08 - 0.11 in
(2–3 mm), measured at the edge of the grip.
If not:
Place the vehicle on the stand.
Pull back the rubber boot (1).
Loosen the lock nut (2).
Rotate the adjuster (3) so as to restore the proper play.
After the adjustment, tighten the lock nut (2) and check
the play again.
Replace the rubber boot (1).
WARNING
After completing the adjustment, make sure that
turning the handlebar does not alter the engine idle
speed, and that when the throttle is released it
returns gently and automatically to its original
position. Failure to heed this warning can lead to a
stuck throttle and runaway motor which can cause a
serious accident with subsequent serious injury or
even death.
