Title: Help... I'm Frustrated
Post by: lilspider on May 07, 2006, 05:08:38 PM
I just took my entire engine apart to change an oil seal on my Left exhaust valve, and that actaully turned out OK.  My problem is that my throttle seems out of adjustment now, and since it is difficult to get to with the tank on, I can't seem to get it adjusted properly.  SO, does anyone know a procedure to easily adjust my throttle????   I need the GS to teach an Experienced Rider Course on Tuesday, so any quick responses would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

You can either adjust it at the throttle grip with the nut there, or just take the tank off.  That takes what, 10, 15 minutes?

When you have the tank off, just make sure that you have a little slack in the throttle cable (i.e. that when you twist the throttle grip there is no immediate response at the carb butterflies, but that you have to twist it for a little before the cable starts to pull.)
