Periodic Maintenance Procedures
Fuel System
Throttle Lever Free Play Inspection
•
Check that the throttle lever [A] moves smoothly from full
open to close, and the throttle closes quickly and com-
pletely in all steering positions by the return spring.
If the throttle lever does not return properly, check the
throttle cable routing, lever free play, and cable damage.
Then lubricate the throttle cable.
•
Run the engine at the idle speed, and turn the handlebar
all the w ay to the right and left to ensure that the idle speed
does not change.
If the idle speed increases, check the throttle lever free
play and the cable routing.
•
Stop the engine and check the throttle lever free play [B].
If the free play is not within the specified range, adjust the
cable.
Throttle Lever Free Play
Standard: 2 ∼ 3 mm (0.08 ∼ 0.12 in.)
Throttle Lever Free Play Adjustment
•
Remove the handle cover (see Multifunction Meter Unit
Removal in the Electrical System chapter).
•
Slide the rubber cover off the adjuster at the throttle case.
•
Loosen the l ocknut [A] and turn the throttle cable upper
adjuster [B] until the cable has proper amount of play.
•
Tighten the locknut and reinstall the rubber cover.
If the free play cannot be adjusted by using the upper ca-
ble adjuster, remove the left side cover (see Frame chap-
ter) and then use the cable adjusting nuts [A] at the lower
end of the throttle cable and make the necessary free
play.
Choke L ever Free Play Inspection
•
Check if the choke lever [A] returns properly and if the
inner cable slides smoothly.
•
Make sure that the choke lever returns to its released po-
sition all the way.
•
To determine the amount of choke cable play at the lever,
pull the choke lever to the left until feeling the operation of
the lever tough; the amount of choke lever is equivalent
to that of cable play.
•
The proper amount of play ranges about 3 mm (0.12 in.)
at the choke lever.
If the free play is not within the specified range, adjust the
cable.
