Checking and lubricating the
throttle grip and cable
The operation of the throttle grip and
the condition of the throttle cable
should be checked before each ride,
and the cable should be lubricated or
replaced if necessary.
NOTE:
Since the throttle grip must be
removed to access the throttle cable
end, the throttle grip and the cable
should always be lubricated at the
same time.
1. Remove the throttle grip by
removing the screws.
2. Disconnect the throttle cable,
hold it up, and then apply several
drops of oil to the cable end,
allowing it to trickle into the
sheath.
3. Connect the throttle cable, and
then grease the inside of the
throttle grip housing.
