Throttle Freeplay Adjustment 4. To adjust the closing cable (rear cable), move the throttle grip back and forth continuously while turning the adjuster slowly outward just until freeplay is removed. Then turn the adjuster inward one full turn. 5. Turn the lock nuts on both cables until they are seated against the adjuster nuts. Hold each adjuster nut and tighten each lock nut securely. 6. Measure throttle freeplay. 7. Start the engine with the transmission in neutral. Turn the handlebars fully to the left and to the right. Engine idle speed should not change. If idle speed changes, inspect for a damaged cable, incorrect routing or incorrect adjustments. Throttle Cable Lubrication Lubricate the cable ends at the intervals recommended in the periodic maintenance table beginning on page 72. NOTICE: External casings are factory-lubricated. Additional lubrication could be detrimental to cable performance. Throttle System Maintenance Verify proper routing and smooth movement. Inspect for damage to the external casing, and inspect exposed cable wire for fraying, kinks or corrosion. Replace any damaged, sticky or sluggish cable. 1. Disconnect the cable at the throttle body. 2. Apply a light film of VICTORY All Purpose Grease or equivalent to the barrel end. 3. Reconnect the cable and adjust freeplay as needed. 99
