THE ADJUSTMENT OF THROTTLE LEVER
To adjust the throttle lever play:
1. Loosen adjuster nut and move adjuster in or out to obtain the correct
play.
2.. Tighten adjuster nut
3.. Recheck the throttle lever free distance.
Readjust it if it is not within the correct limits.
WARNING
Operating the vehicle with an inadequate throttle lever free distance could
be hazardous.
Inadequate throttle lever free distance could cause engine speed to rise
suddenly when you turn the handlebars. This can lead the rider to lose
control.
Adjust the throttle lever free distance so that engine idle speed does not
rise due to handlebar movement.
Measure the throttle lever play.
