Throttle Operation

(Refer to the Safety Precautions on page 53.)
1. Check for smooth rotation of the throttle grip
from the fully open to the fully closed position at
both full steering positions.
2. Measure the throttle grip free play at the throttle
grip flange.
The standard free play should be approximately:
2.0 – 6.0 mm (0.08 – 0.24 in)
To adjust the free play, slide the throttle cable boot (1),
then loosen the lock nut (2) and turn the adjuster (3).
After adjustment, tighten the lock nut and return the
throttle cable boot securely.

Drive Chain

(Refer to the Safety Precautions on page 53.)
The service life of the drive chain (1) is dependent
upon proper lubrication and adjustment. Poor
maintenance can cause premature wear or damage
to the drive chain and sprockets.
The drive chain should be checked, adjusted and
lubricated as part of the Pre-ride Inspection (page
44). Under severe usage, or when the motorcycle
is ridden in unusually dusty or muddy areas, more
frequent maintenance will be necessary.
Inspection
1. Turn the engine off, raise the rear wheel off the
ground by placing a support under the engine,
and shift the transmission into neutral.
