Default Too much play

I think there is too much play in my throttle. I can turn it about a half an inch before the engine starts to rev. Is there an adjustment for this or is it normal to have a little play?

look at your throttle cable where it connects to clip on... you'll see a nut. Loosen it and you can adjust the cable out a little.

If there isn't enough adjustment you will have to adjust it by the carbs. But I highly doubt it. Make sure you leave some free play. Turn the bars both ways and make sure there is still free play.
