PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR

6-24

EAU03209

Checking and lubricating the

throttle grip and cable

The operation of the throttle grip and

the condition of the throttle cable

should be checked before each ride,

and the cable should be lubricated or

replaced if necessary.

NOTE:

Since the throttle grip must be removed

to access the throttle cable end, the

throttle grip and the cable should al-

ways be lubricated at the same time.

1. Remove the throttle grip by remov-

ing the screws.

2. Disconnect the throttle cable, hold

it up, and then apply several drops

of oil to the cable end, allowing it to

trickle into the sheath.

3. Connect the throttle cable, and

then grease the inside of the throt-

tle grip housing.

4. Grease the metal-to-metal contact

surface of the throttle grip, and

then install the grip by installing

the screws.

Recommended lubricant:

Throttle cable:

Engine oil

Throttle grip housing and grip:

Lithium-soap-based grease

(all-purpose grease)
