INSPECTION
Check the quick connect fitting [1] for looseness.
Check the fuel feed hose [2] for deterioration, damage
or leakage.
Check the quick connect fittings for dirt, and clean if
necessary.
Replace the fuel pump packing if necessary (page 7-
13).
THROTTLE OPERATION
Check for any deterioration or damage to the throttle
cable.
Check the throttle grip for smooth operation.
Check that the throttle opens and automatically closes
in all steering positions.
If the throttle grip does not return properly, lubricate the
throttle cable, and overhaul and lubricate the throttle
grip housing.
If the throttle grip still do not return properly, replace the
throttle cable.
With the engine idling, turn the handlebar all the way to
the right and left to ensure that the idle speed does not
change.
If idle speed increases, check the throttle grip freeplay
and throttle cable connection.
Measure the throttle grip freeplay at the throttle grip
flange.
