Throttle Lever Free Play Inspection
•
Check that the throttle lever [A] moves smoothly from full
open to close, and the throttle closes quickly and com-
pletely in all steering positions by the return spring.
If the throttle lever does not return properly, check the
throttle cable routing, lever free play, and cable damage.
Then lubricate the throttle cable.
•
Run the engine at the idle speed, and turn the handlebar
all the way to the right and left to ensure that the idle speed
does not change.
If the idle speed increases, check the throttle lever free
play and the cable routing.
•
Stop the engine and check the throttle lever free play [B].
If the free play is not within the specified range, adjust the
cable.
Throttle Lever Free Play
Standard: 2 ∼ 3 mm (0.08 ∼ 0.12 in.)
Throttle Lever Free Play Adjustment
•
Slide the rubber cover off the adjuster at the throttle case.
•
Loosen the locknut [A] and turn the throttle cable upper
adjuster [B] until the cable has proper amount of play.
•
Tighten the locknut and reinstall the rubber cover.
If the free play cannot be adjusted by using the upper
cable adjuster, remove the left side cover (see Left Side
Cover Removal in the Frame chapter) and then use the
cable adjusting nut [A] and locknut [B] at the lower end of
the throttle cable and make the necessary free play.
