* Inadequate throttle cable play can cause engine
speed to rise suddenly when you turn the handle-
bars. This can lead to loss of rider control.
* Adjust the throttle cable play so that engine speed
does not rise due to handlebars movement.
After the adjustment is completed, check that handle-
bars movement does not raise the engine idle speed
and that the throttle grip returns smoothly and auto-
matically.
