ADJUSTING THE THROTTLE CABLE
To adjust the throttle cable do the following:
1) Loosen the locknut (10mm and 8mm spanner
sizes)
2) Rotate the adjuster sleeve nut until there is 1.5mm
- 2.5mm free play in the throttle cable.
3) Re-tighten the lock nut against the sleeve nut.
4) The rotational free play at the twist grip should now
be 2mm - 6mm.
5) Turn the handle bars lock to lock and check the
free play at each extreme position.
WARNING!
ADJUSTING THE CLUTCH CABLE
The clutch lever should have approximately 5mm free
play at the ball end. This is essential to avoid the
clutch from slipping and wearing out prematurely. If
the clutch free play is too great, difficulty engaging
gears and neutral will be experienced. Damage to the
gearbox could follow.
1) Peel back the rubber cover
2) Undo the round locknut
3) Rotate the cable adjuster
until the correct free
play is achieved.
4) Re-tighten the lock nut
5) Re position the rubber cover
