MAINTENANCE
4-5
FUEL LINE
Remove the floor panel (page 3-11).
Check the fuel hose for deterioration, damage or
leakage.
Replace the fuel hose if necessary (page 6-32).
Also, check the fuel feed fittings for leakage.
Install the removed parts in the reverse order of
removal.
THROTTLE OPERATION
Reusing an abnor-
mally bent or
kinked throttle
cable can prevent
proper throttle slide
operation.
Check for any deterioration or damage to the throt-
tle cable. Check the throttle grip for smooth opera-
tion. Check that the throttle opens and automatically
closes in all steering positions.
If the throttle grip does not return properly, lubricate
the throttle cable.
For cable lubrication, disconnect the throttle cable
at their pivot points and apply commercially avail-
able cable lubricant or light weight oil.
If the throttle grip still does not return properly,
replace the throttle cable.
With the engine idling, turn the handlebar all the
way to the right and left to ensure that the idle
speed does not change. If idle speed increases,
check the throttle grip freeplay and throttle cable
connection.
Measure the throttle grip freeplay at the throttle grip
flange.
