ADJUSTING THE THROTTLE CONTROL
CABLE
The throttle control cable should always
have a 3-5 mm play. In addition, the idle
speed should not change when the han-
dlebars are fully rotated to the left or right.
Push back protective cap

. Loosen
counternut

and turn adjusting screw

. Turning the screw anticlockwise de-
creases the idle travel; turning it clockwise
increases it. Tighten the counternut and
check that the throttle twist grip turns
smoothly.
CHECKING AND ADJUSTING THE
STEERING PLAY
Periodically check the play of the steering
head tube by moving the forks backwards
and forwards as shown in the figure. If
any play is felt, carry out the adjustment
by following these steps:
•
Unscrew the five screws

.
•
Pull out the handlebars paying special
attention to the clevises.
•
Loosen nut
14
.
•
Reduce the play by turning ring
To refit the parts, follow the reverse proce-
dure.
Note:
Proper adjustment must leave no play and
cause no stiffness, and allow the steering
to rotate smoothly. Check the fitting direc-
tion of the clevises as it can alter the ge-
ometry of the handlebar.
