With engine running, turn handlebars through full range of

cable.
2. Turn adjusters (4) in direction which will shorten cable
housings to minimum length.
3. Point front wheel straight ahead. Twist throttle control grip
to fully open position; hold in position.
4. Turn adjuster on throttle control cable (2) until throttle cam

on throttle control cable adjuster; release throttle control
