edge).
If not so:
◆ Place the motorcycle on the centre stand.
◆ Take off the rubber gaiter (6).
◆ Loosen the locknut (7).
◆ Rotate the adjuster (8) until setting the
specified free play.
◆ After adjusting, tighten the locknut (7) and
check free play again.
◆ Refit the rubber gaiter (6).
◆ Cable (9) opens the throttle.
◆ Cable (10) closes the throttle.
Turn the handlebar and ensure that idling
speed is unaffected by handlebar
movement. Open the throttle and ensure
that the twistgrip springs back to the closed
position smoothly and gradually when
released.
