THROTTLE GRIP
The throttle grip controls the throttle valves
in the throttle bodies.
If the throttle cable is incorrectly adjusted,
either too tight or too loose, the throttle may
be difficult to control and performance will be
adversely affected.
Check the throttle grip free-play in
accordance with scheduled maintenance
requirements and make adjustments as
necessary.
Inspection
l
Check that there is 2-3 mm throttle
grip free-play when lightly turning the
throttle grip back and forth.
l
If there is an incorrect amount of
free-play, adjustments must be
made.

cable could interfere with the throttle
function resulting in loss of control of
the motorcycle and an accident.
Adjustment
NOTE:
Minor adjustments can be made
using the adjuster near the twist
grip end of the throttle. Where a
correct setting cannot be achieved
in this way, the adjuster at the
throttle body end must be used.
Disconnect the battery negative
(black) lead first.
Set the cable adjuster at the twist grip
end such that it has an equal amount
of adjustment in each direction.
