Inadequate throttle play can be
hazardous
The engine speed could rise when
the handlebars are turned if there
is not enough throttle play. This
could result in loss of control.
Always check throttle play before
each ride. Turn handlebars from
side to side making sure throttle
does not increase when doing so.
