Checking and lubricating the
throttle grip and cable
The operation of the throttle grip and
the
condition
of the
throttle
cable
should be checked before each ride,
and the cable should be lubricated or
replaced if necessary.
NOTE: SSS
Since the throttle grip must be removed
to access the throttle cable end, the
throttle grip and the cable should al-
ways be lubricated at the same time.
1. Remove the throttle grip by remov-
ing the screws.
2. Hold
up the throttle cable,
and
then apply several drops of oil to
the cable, allowing it to trickle into
the sheaths.
3. Grease the inside of the throttle
grip housing.
4. Grease the metal-to-metal contact
surface of the throttle grip, and
then install the grip by installing
the screws.
