Play in Throttle

[philmartin]

The play in the throttle was minimal, in the past couple of weeks its been increasing, now its about a quarter turn before it engages. How do you adjust this, the manual says bring it to the dealer.

That much play, and happening that quickly, it almost sounds like one of the throttle cables has come loose from its mounting bracket on the carburetor and is about to fall right off. You'll have to remove the tank to see what's going on and verify anything. If that's it, tighten it up and adjust them. There are adjustments both at the carbs and near the throttle grip housing for cable tension.
