ADJUSTING THE THROTTLE CONTROL
Carefully read p. 2 (GENERAL SAFETY RULES).
NOTE
Before carrying out any operation, check the
correct functioning of the throttle control, see p. 20
(CHECKING THE OPERATION OF THE THROTTLE
CONTROL).
If the throttle sticks open, you will lose control of
your vehicle and a serious accident could result.
If any fastener in the throttle system becomes loose,
likewise you will lose control of your vehicle.
Either situation can lead to an upset or collision with
subsequent serious injury or death.
The play of the throttle cable must be between
2 – 3 mm
(0.08 – 0.12 in)
, measured at the edge of the grip, see
the illustration above.
To adjust the cable:
♦
Place the vehicle on the center stand.
♦
Pull back the rubber boot (1).
♦
Loosen the lock nut (2).
♦
Rotate the adjuster (3) in such a way as to restore the
prescribed value.
♦
After the adjustment, tighten the lock nut (2) and check
the play again.
♦
Replace the rubber boot (1).
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which is
extremely poisonous if inhaled.
Do not start the engine in closed or badly-ventilated
rooms.
Failure to observe this warning may cause loss of
consciousness or even lead to death by asphyxia.
After you have adjusted the throttle, rotate the han-
dlebars full left and full right with the engine idling.
Check to ensure that the idle sound is not affected
by this. Also check that the throttle smoothly and
fully closes when released.
