Throttle Cable

Throttle Cable Inspection

For safe operation and positive engine response, the throttle cable must be properly adjusted.

  1. Check for smooth rotation of the throttle grip from the full open to the fully closed positions. Check when at full left and full right steering positions.
  2. Inspect the condition of throttle cables from the throttle grip down to each of the carburetors. If the cables are kinked, chafed or improperly routed, they should be replaced and/or rerouted. Recheck cables for tension or stress at both full left and full right steering positions

 

Throttle Grip Play Adjustment

Standard throttle grip play is approximately 10-15° of the grip rotation. This play can be attained by adjustment of the grip play adjuster (2). Loosen the grip play adjuster lock nut (1) and turn the adjuster in either direction to obtain the grip free play rotation of 10-15°. Retighten the lock nut.
