Throttle Cable Adjustment
This motorcycle has a twin throttle
cable system. Cable (l is for pull-
ing cable and cable (I is for
returning.
To adjust the cable play:
1. Loosen the lock nut CD.
2. Turn in the adjuster (2 fully.
3. Loosen the lock nut Q).
4. Turn the adjuster (4 so that
the throttle grip has 2.0 - 4.0
mm (0.08 - 0.16 in) play.
5. Tighten the lock nut Q).
6. While holding the throttle grip
at the closed position, turn out
the adjuster (2 to feel resis-
tance.
7. Tighten the lock nut CD.
Inadequate throttle cable play
can cause engine speed to rise
suddenly when you turn the
handlebars. This can lead to
loss of rider control.
Adjust the throttle cable play
so that engine idle speed does
not rise due to handlebar
movement.
FUEL HOSE
Inspect the fuel hose for damage
and fuel leakage. If any defects
are found, the fuel hose must be
replaced.
