The throttle lever is located on the RH

When released, the engine speed
should automatically return to idle and
the vehicle gradually slow down.

WARNING
Check throttle lever operation be-
fore you start the engine. If the
throttle lever does not function
smoothly, check for the cause.
Correct the problem before rid-
ing the vehicle. Consult your au-
thorized dealer if you can't find or
solve the problem yourself.
Speed Limiter
This vehicle is equipped with an ad-
justable speed limiter screw on the
throttle lever housing. The speed lim-
iter prevents the throttle from being
fully opened, even when the throttle
lever is pushed fully forward thus limit-
ing available engine power and there-
