I notice some slack, play in my throttle grip. I want to tighten it up at the grip. I noticed where the throttle cable meets the grip, there is no adjustment nut like you would normally find on other bikes.

Can someone please tell me how to get rid of the slack in my throttle grip?

My manual has a small description and picture on section 7, page 20-21. I don't have a scanner or anything to use to show you, but it looks like there should be an elongated metal assembly on two cables near the throttle. The lower cable is for pulling and the upper cable is for returning, whatever that means. If you lost your manual let me know, I can show you the pages when I get access to a scanner for my laptop.

Throttle adjustment

Page 55 in my manual. Lossen the lock nut, turn the adjusting screw. 2 to 4 mm of play. One cable opens the carb, the other closes. In the past bikes had one cable only. Sometimes the whole assembly would turn on the bar and prevent the front brake from engaging. Sometimes the throttle slides would not close. Especially in colder climates. Needed to open and close the throttle to check before firing.
