MAINTENANCE Throttle Check Throttle Control Grip and Cable 1. Rotate the throttle control grip. It should rotate smoothly 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 freeplay if necessary. 1/8-1/4 inch (3-6 mm) Adjust Throttle Freeplay 1. Slide the rubber covers off both cable adjusters, and loosen both adjuster jam nuts. 2. Turn both cable adjusters into the cable as far as possible. 3. Turn the cable adjuster on the throttle opening cable out until the throttle freeplay is between 1/8-1/4 inch (3-6 mm). 4. Hold the throttle control grip at the fully closed position and turn the cable adjuster on the throttle closing cable out until resistance is felt. 5. Tighten the adjuster jam nuts on both cables, and reinstall both rubber covers. 6. Verify that the throttle grip moves smoothly throughout the full range of rotation. 103

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 freeplay if necessary.
Adjust Throttle Freeplay
1.
Slide the rubber covers off both cable adjusters, and loosen both
adjuster jam nuts.
2.
Turn both cable adjusters into the cable as far as possible.
3.
Turn the cable adjuster on the throttle opening cable out until the throttle freeplay is between 1/8-1/4 inch (3-6
mm).
4.
Hold the throttle control grip at the fully closed position and turn the cable adjuster on the throttle closing cable
out until resistance is felt.
5.
Tighten the adjuster jam nuts on both cables, and reinstall both rubber covers.
6.
Verify that the throttle grip moves smoothly throughout the full range of rotation.
