MAINTENANCE

Throttle

Adjust Throttle Freeplay

1. Hold the adjuster nuts (1) and loosen the lock nuts (2) on both

cables.

2. Turn the lock nuts away from the adjuster nuts as far as possible on

both cables.

3. Turn both adjuster nuts toward the lock nuts as far as possible for

maximum freeplay in both cables.

4. Turn the adjuster on the throttle opening (front) cable away from

the lock nut until throttle freeplay is 2-4 mm.

5. To adjust the closing cable (the one toward rear of motorcycle),

move the throttle grip back and forth constantly and turn adjuster

out slowly just until freeplay is removed. Turn the adjuster back

in one full turn.

6. Turn the lock nuts on both cables until they are seated against the

adjuster nuts (not against the switch housing). Hold the adjuster nut and

tighten the lock nut securely (on both cables).

7. Check throttle control grip as described on page 103.
8. Start engine with transmission in neutral. Turn handlebars full left to full right. Idle RPM should not change

when bars are turned. RPM changes can be caused by a damaged cable, incorrect routing, or incorrect

adjustment.
