Inspection
Inspect the throttle free play by operating the throttle lever. The free play should be 2 – 3 mm (0.08 – 0.12 in) measured at the end of the throttle lever.
When the throttle lever is pushed all the way in it should return to its resting position quickly. Also, the throttle operation should be smooth.
Adjustment
Slide back the rubber cover from the throttle cable.
To adjust the throttle free play loosen lock nut with a 12 mm socket. Turn the adjuster with a 14 mm wrench. Move the adjuster out to decrease free-play or turn it in to increase free-play using. Always check that the throttle operates freely and returns properly. Hold the adjuster in place and tighten the lock nut securely.
If the free play cannot be adjusted correctly at the handlebar end of the throttle cable it can also be adjusted on the carburetor side.
Remove the airbox. See the Airbox topic for more information.
Loosen the lock nut and turn the adjuster as needed to get the throttle cable free play to the correct setting. Hold the adjuster and tighten the lock nut securely.
Double check the throttle operation.
