3-8 FUEL SYSTEM

Throttle Grip and Cable

If the throttle grip has excessive free play due to cable

stretch or m isadjustment, there will be a delay in throttle re-

sponse. Also, the throttle valve may not open fully at full

throttle. On the other hand, if the throttle grip has no play,

the throttle will be hard to control, and the idle speed will

be erratic. Check the throttle grip play periodically in accor-

dance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart, and adjust the

play if necessary.

The throttle c able routing is shown in Cable, Wire, and

Hose Routing in the Appendix chapter.
