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 0.08-
0. 1 2 in (2-3 mm) of play at the throttle grip.
Tighten the locknut.
Make any minor adjustments as necessary to
give 0.08-0. 1 2 in (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 0.08-0. 1 2 in (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 0.08-0. 1 2 in (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.
