Pre-Ride Inspection
21
Perform a pre-ride inspection prior to every ride.
Throttle
Check the throttle cable for ease of movement by turning
the twist grip from fully close to fully open.
Move the handlebar from left to right to ensure throttle is
not applied when bars turn.
Measure throttle free-play by opening the grip slightly until
resistance can be felt.
Throttle free-play: 1.5 - 3.5 mm
Adjust throttle as necessary to ensure proper free-
play. Lubricate throttle cable tube and cable ends to
ensure ease of operation.
Throttle Adjustment
Slide the protective rubber cover ( 1 ) to expose the throttle
adjustment screw.
Loosen the lock nut
( 2 ) on the throttle
cable.
Turn the adjustment
screw ( 3 ) until the
throttle free-play is
within the proper
range of movement.
Measure throttle
free-play again by
opening the grip slightly until resistance can be felt.
Throttle free-play: 1.5 - 3.5 mm
Once throttle free-play has been adjusted within the proper
range, tighten lock nut ( 2 ).
Return the protective cover ( 1 ) to cover the throttle
adjustment screw.
