Maintenance
Cruise Control Cable Inspection (if equipped)
1. Remove the right side access cover.
2. Inspect the throttle body end of the cruise control
cable for fraying and be sure the end is secured in
the bracket.
Throttle Cable Lubrication
Lubricate control cable ends at the intervals
recommended in the periodic maintenance table
beginning on page 53.
NOTICE:
External casings are factory-lubricated. Additional lubrication could be detrimental to cable
performance.
Verify proper routing and smooth movement. Inspect for damage to the external casing, and
inspect exposed cable wire for fraying, kinks or corrosion. Replace any damaged, sticky or
sluggish cable.
1. Disconnect the cable at the throttle body.
2. Apply a light film of VICTORY All Purpose Grease or equivalent to the barrel end.
3. Reconnect the cable and adjust freeplay as needed.
Mechanical Clutch Lever Freeplay
1. Remove the right side access cover.
2. Hold the clutch cable and loosen the adjuster lock
nut.
3. While holding the cable, turn the cable adjuster
inward or outward until clutch lever freeplay is
0.5-1.5 mm.
4. While holding the cable, tighten the adjuster lock
nut securely.
5. Reinstall the right side cover.
6. Verify that the safety switch activates properly. The engine should not start in gear with
the clutch lever released.
Tip:
The starter interlock switch is dependent on the clutch lever freeplay being set correctly to ensure
activation of the clutch safety switch.
