Engine Idle Speed Inspection; Throttle Cable Adjustment - Suzuki VL800 Manual

ENGINE IDLE SPEED
INSPECTION
Inspect the engine idle speed.
The engine idle speed should be
1000 – 1200 r/min when the
engine is warm.
NOTE: If the engine idle speed is
not within the specified range, ask
your Suzuki dealer or a qualified
mechanic to inspect and repair
the motorcycle.
THROTTLE CABLE
ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the cable play:
1. Loosen the lock nut 1.
2. Turn the adjuster 2 so that the
throttle grip has 2.0 – 4.0 mm
(0.08 – 0.16 in) play.
3. Tighten the lock nut 1.
 WARNING
Inadequate throttle cable play
can cause engine speed to rise
suddenly when you turn the
handlebars. This can lead to
loss of control and an accident.
Adjust the throttle cable play
so that engine idle speed does
not rise due to handlebar
movement.
