Refer to

Safety Precautions

on page 107.

1. Check that the throttle assembly is positioned properly and the

securing bolts are tight.

2. Check for smooth operation of the throttle lever from fully open

to fully closed in all steering positions. If there is a problem, see
your dealer.

3. Inspect the condition of the throttle cable from the throttle lever

down to the throttle body. If the cable is kinked or chafed, have
it replaced.

4. Check the throttle cable for tension or stress in all steering

positions.

5. Lubricate the throttle cable with a commercially available cable

lubricant to prevent premature wear and corrosion.
