(decelerate).

Do not tighten throttle friction adjustment screw to the

Over tightening can lead to loss of vehicle control, which
could result in death or serious injury. (00031b)
3. Unscrew the throttle friction adjustment screw so the throttle returns to the idle position
when the hand is removed from the grip.
