Throttle cable tension adjustment
The throttle twistgrip must have a free play of 1.5-2.0
mm measured at the edge of the twistgrip, at all
positions of the handlebars.
If needed, adjust using the adjusters (1 and 2, fig. 59)
located on the steering tube on the left side of the
motorcycle.
The adjuster (1) is for throttle opening, whereas adjuster
(2) is for throttle closing.
Slip off the dust covers of the adjusters and slacken the
locknuts. Work the adjusters as follows: turn clockwise
to increase play, anti-clockwise to decrease play. When
finished, tighten the locknuts and refit the dust covers.
