Throttle Cable Boots
The throttle cable has boots.
Check that the boots are fit
securely. Do not apply water
directly to the boots when wash-
ing. Wipe off dirt from the boots
with a wet cloth when the boots
are dirty.
WARNING
Inadequate throttle cable play
can cause engine speed to rise
suddenly when you turn the
handlebars. This can lead to
loss of control and an accident.
Adjust the throttle cable play
so that engine idle speed does
not rise due to handlebar
movement.
