V45 MAINTENANCE THROTTLE OPERATION Check for smooth throttle grip full opening and automatic full closing in all steering positions. Check the throttle cables and replace them if they are deteriorated, kinked or damaged. Lubricate the throttle cables (page 2-11), if throttle operation is not smooth. Measure throttle grip free play at the throttle grip flange. FREE PLAY: 2-6 mm (1/8-1/4 in) Adjustment can be made at either end of the throttle cable. Minor adjustments are made with the upper adjuster and major adjustments are made with the lower adjuster after removing the fuel tank (V45 SABRE) or lifting the fuel tank up (V45 MAGNA). Adjust by loosening the lock nut and turning the adjuster. Tighten the lock nut and recheck throttle operation. Install the fuel tank, if removed.
