MAINTENANCE Throttle System WARNING Failure to check or maintain proper operation of the throttle system can result in an accident and lead to serious injury or death if the throttle pedal sticks during operation. Always check the pedal for free movement and return before starting the engine and occasionally during operation. Never start or operate this vehicle if it has a sticking or improperly operating throttle pedal. Immediately contact your dealer for service if throttle problems arise. Throttle Freeplay If the throttle pedal has excessive play due to cable stretch or misadjustment, it will cause a delay in throttle response, especially at low engine speed. The throttle may also not open fully. If the throttle pedal has no freeplay, the throttle may be hard to control, and the idle speed may be erratic. Check the throttle pedal freeplay at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 48. Adjust the freeplay if necessary. Throttle Pedal Throttle Freeplay Inspection 1. Place the transmission in PARK. 2. Start the engine. Allow it to warm up thoroughly. 3. Measure the distance the throttle pedal moves before the engine begins to pick up speed. Freeplay should be 1/16 to 1/8 inches (1.6- 3.2 mm). 76
Throttle System Throttle Freeplay Adjustment 1. Remove the seat. 2. Locate the throttle cable adjuster. 3. Squeeze the end of the rubber boot and slide it far enough to expose the end of the inline cable adjuster. 4. Loosen the adjuster lock nut. 5. Rotate the boot to turn the adjuster until 1/16" to 1/8" (1.5-3 mm) of freeplay is achieved at the throttle pedal. See page 76. Boot Lock Nut MAINTENANCE Adjuster Tip: While adjusting, lightly flip the throttle pedal up and down. 6. Tighten the lock nut. 7. Squeeze the end of the rubber boot and slide it over the cable adjuster to its original position. Cylinder Head/Cylinder Base Fastener Torque Have your dealer check the cylinder head and cylinder base fasteners for proper torque at the first service or after 25 hours. 77
