Throttle Cable Play Inspection and Adjustment
BA02J20206010
Inspect throttle cable play
Initially at 150 km (100 miles, 1 month) and every 1
000 km (600 miles, 6 months) thereafter
Inspect and adjust the throttle cable play “a” as follows:
Throttle cable play “a”
2.0 – 4.0 mm (0.08 – 0.16 in)
WARNING
!
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
speed does not rise due to handlebars
movement.
Throttle Cable Adjustment
1) Loosen the lock-nut (1).
2) Turn adjuster (2) so the throttle grip has 2 – 4 mm
(0.08 – 0.16 in) play in circumference.
3) Tighten the lock-nut (1) to the specified torque.
Tightening torque
Cable adjuster lock-nut: 2.1 N·m (0.21 kgf-m, 1.5
lbf-ft)
WARNING
!
After the adjustment is completed, check that
handlebars movement does not raise the
engine idle speed and that the throttle grip
returns smoothly and automatically.
Throttle Cable Lubrication
1) Remove the throttle case (1).
2) Apply oil to the throttle cable.
3) Apply grease to the throttle cable spool.
: Grease 99000–25010 (SUZUKI SUPER
GREASE “A” or equivalent)
4) Install the throttle case. Refer to “Handlebars
Removal and Installation” in Section 6B (Page 6B-3).
