- Check that the throttle grip [A] moves smoothly from full open to close, and the throttle closes quickly and completely by the return spring in all steering positions.
If the throttle grip doesn't return properly, check the throttle cable routing, grip free play, and cable damage. Then lubricate the throttle cable.
- Check the throttle grip free play [B].
If the free play is incorrect, adjust the throttle cable.

If necessary, adjust the throttle cable as follows.

- Turn the adjuster [B] in completely so as to give the throttle grip plenty of play.
- Loosen the locknut [A] at the middle of the decelerator cable.
- Turn the adjuster [B] until there is no play when the throttle grip is completely closed.
- Tighten the locknut.
- Turn the accelerator cable adjuster until the proper amount of throttle grip free play is obtained.
