from its rest position to its completely open position and

back again. It should return to its rest position quickly

when released.

2. Throttle freeplay -- the amount of throttle control grip

movement from the rest position to the point of cable

resistance -- should be 1/8--1/4 inch (3--6 mm).

3. Adjust throttle cable freeplay if necessary (see page 89).

Check Clutch

it. It should move freely and smoothly and should return to

its rest position quickly when released.
