8. Throttle cable adjustment: A
LL THROTTLE CABLE ADJUSTMENTS ARE DONE WITH THE ENGINE OFF . Adjust the
throttle cable so there is a slight amount of free play (1/16 to 1/8 inch). Tighten all adjuster nuts. Reinstall all
cable clamps and guides. Check that the throttle will snap back from the full open position in all handlebar
steering positions. Also, check that the cable has free play when the handlebars are turned side to side.
Note: Cable routing and throttle position affect the smoothness of throttle operation. Route the cable to
avoid sharp bends or kinks. Position the throttle so that it does not create sharp bends or kinks in the cable.
9. Install the fuel tank and seat. Start the engine to check throttle operation. Using throttle, raise engine speed
momentarily to 4000 RPM and release throttle. Engine speed should drop quickly to idle speed without
hesitation. Next, while turning the handlebars side to side, there should be no change in engine speed. Repeat,
Step 8 if throttle is not operating as described above.
10. It is suggested that you familiarize yourself with the operation of the twist grip throttle. Run the machine at
different speeds until you are completely familiar with how the throttle operates. If you have experience riding
motorcycles the twist throttle will be quite natural. If you have only used the thumb type throttle you should
practice until operation of throttle is done without second thought.
