THROTTLE CABLE ADJUSTMENT To achieve accurate cable adjustment, the cables must not bind or drag. Make sure the engine idle speed is correct before adjusting the cables. The pull cable opens the throttle, while the return cable closes the throttle. At the throttle, the pull cable is at the rear and the return cable is at the front.

1. Determine the throttle grip free play as shown in Figure 36. If the free play is more or less than 3-5 mm (0.12-0.20 in.), adjust the cable as described in the following steps.
2. Remove the throttle cable cover at the right side of the carburetor.
3. On the return cable:
1. Loosen the cable locknuts (A, Figure 37).
2. Turn the cable adjuster (B, Figure 37) in or out to remove all free play at the throttle grip.
3. Tighten the cable locknuts.


4. On the upper (pull) cable:
1. Loosen the cable locknuts (C, Figure 37).
2. Turn the locknuts in/out until free play is achieved.


5. When adjustment is correct, tighten the locknuts and reinstall the throttle cable cover.
6. Turn the handlebars from side to side and check for binding. Correct if necessary.
