If any fastener in the throttle system be-
comes loose, likewise you will lose con-
trol of your vehicle.
Either situation can lead to an upset or
collision with subsequent serious injury
or death.
Your vehicle is equipped with a double ca-
ble throttle. One cable opens the throttle
when you rotate the throttle grip toward
you; the other closes the throttle when you
rotate the grip away from you. It is essen-
tial, when you release the throttle grip, that
it automatically return to the idle position.
This double cable arrangement enhances
safety by providing for positive closing of
the throttle.
In the event of a throttle sticking emer-
gency, always kill the engine using the
engine stop switch located near the
throttle grip on the right handlebar.
