Maintenance and Adjustment
Remove the seat.
Disconnect the battery, negative (black) lead
first.
Remove the fuel tank.
Release the locknuts on the 'opening' cable
adjusters.

Rotate the 'opening' cable adjuster at the
throttle grip end such that it has an equal
amount of adjustment in each direction.
Rotate the 'opening' cable adjuster at the
throttle body end of the cable to give
2 - 3 mm of play at the throttle grip. Tighten
the locknut.
Make any minor adjustments as necessary to
give 2 - 3 mm of play using the adjuster near
the throttle grip end of the cable. Tighten the
adjuster locknut.
With the throttle fully closed, ensure that
there is 2 - 3 mm of free play in the 'closing'
cable at the throttle cam attached to the
throttle bodies. If necessary, adjust at the
throttle body end in the same way as the
'opening' cable, until 2 - 3 mm of play is
present.
Tighten the adjuster locknuts.
Warning
Ensure that all the adjuster locknuts of all
cables are tightened, as a loose locknut
could result in a sticking throttle.
An incorrectly adjusted, sticking or stuck
throttle can lead to loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
Refit the fuel tank.
Reconnect the battery, positive (red) lead first.
Refit the rider's seat.
