Throttle Control Sy stem Inspection
Check the throttle grip free play [A].
If the free play is incorrect, adjust the throttle cables.
Throttle Grip Free Pl ay
Standard: 2 3 mm (0.08 0.12 in.)

If the throttle grip does not return properly, check the throt-
tle cables routing, grip free play, and cable damage. Then
lubricate the throttle cable.

place the cable.
