Inadequate throttle play can be
hazardous
The engine speed could rise
when the handlebars are
turned if there is not enough
throttle play. This could result
in loss of control.
Always check throttle play
before each ride. Turn handle-
bars from side to side making
sure throttle does not increase
when doing so.
