Adjustment of throttle cable free play is accomplished
using the threaded adjusters located under the throttle/
switch housing.
Figure 205 — Throttle cable adjustment
Before adjustment, move the handlebars all the way to
the left fork stop and check throttle cable free travel.
Rotate the handlebars to the right fork stop and check
throttle cable free travel. Determine in which position
the throttle has the least free travel and leave the
handlebars there.
The front cable opens the throttle plate. Loosen the jam
nut on the front cable adjuster, using a 5/16" open-end
wrench. If less free travel is needed in the cable, rotate
the adjuster to advance toward the cable. Tighten the
jam nut. Rotate the throttle and check the free travel.
Rotate the handlebars back and forth a few times and
again check free travel at the fork stops. Adjust the cable
if necessary. There should be a minimal amount of free
travel in the throttle.
Figure 206 — Adjusting front cable jam nut
Start the engine and let it idle. Move the handlebars left
and right to the fork stops. The rpm of the engine
should not increase. If it does, loosen the forward
throttle cable adjuster until the engine rpm does not rise
when the handlebars are turned.
Once the front (carburetor opening) cable has been
adjusted, check the free travel of the rear (carburetor
closing) cable.
Check the cable connections at the carburetor. Two
chrome upright tubes mounted in a bracket retain the
cables. The long tube houses the closing cable and has a
spring. The spring is there to take up free travel and act
as a cushion.
Adjust the cable to compress the spring slightly when
the handlebars are positioned straight ahead. The spring
will take up any tightening of the cable when the
handlebars are turned to the fork stops.
