| Route the throttle cable in a similar manner into the side slot of the bracket and make sure the cable sheath fits down into the bracket cup (there is no spring on the throttle cable end). | Route the throttle cable in a similar manner into the side slot of the bracket and make sure the cable sheath fits down into the bracket cup (there is no spring on the throttle cable end). | ||
| - | Be sure both cable adjusters are fully minimized. Set the front wheel straight ahead. Turn the throttle grip to fully open (WOT) and hold it there (using the throttle lock star wheel). Turn the adjuster on the throttle cable, extending the outer sheath so that the throttle cam (pulled by the inner cable) is just touching the carb throttle stop. Lock the adjuster in place and release the throttle lock at the grip. | + | Be sure both cable adjusters are fully minimized. Set the front wheel straight ahead.

There should be some, but very little play at the throttle in the idle position. | + | Turn the front wheel fully to the right. Now, turn the Idle Cable Adjuster so that the idle cable sheath just touches the spring in the carb throttle bracket cup. There should be some, but very little play at the throttle grip in the idle position. |

| Start the engine and make sure it idles properly with the throttle grip fully clockwise (closed). Now open the throttle and quickly release it. It should spring back with a snap and resume a proper idle. Turn the front wheel fully left to fully right. The idle should not change. | Start the engine and make sure it idles properly with the throttle grip fully clockwise (closed). Now open the throttle and quickly release it.

| - | If the idle changes or the grip does not spring back into the idle position immediately upon release, readjust the idle cable adjuster to assure proper functioning and check that there is no tight bend or kink in the cable preventing smooth operation. | + | If, when moving the front wheel from left to right to left, the idle changes or the grip does not spring back into the idle position immediately upon release, readjust the idle cable adjuster to assure proper functioning and check that there is no tight bend or kink in the cable creating friction and preventing smooth operation. |
