Throttle Cable

Throttle Cable Inspection
Inspect throttle cable for excessive
wear, kinking or fraying. Ensure cable
moves freely.
The throttle cable must be re-
placed if any signs of wear, fraying
or other damage are found.
Throttle Cable Lubrication
Lubricate the throttle cable using CA-
BLE LUBRICANT (P/N 293 600 041) or
an equivalent silicone cable lubricant.
Always use a silicone-based lu-
bricant. Using another lubricant
(such as a water-based lubricant)
could cause the throttle lever/ca-
ble to stick or become stiff.
Open the throttle lever housing.
