position to the

completely open

position. It should return

to the rest position

quickly when released.

2. Repeat the twist and release process with the

handlebars turned fully right and fully left.

3. Service the throttle system if throttle operation is not

smooth or if throttle grip does not return properly. See

the INDIAN MOTORCYCLE Service Manual or an

authorized INDIAN MOTORCYCLE dealer.

located alongside the left down-tube. Slide the rubber

protective cover away from the lock nut. Loosen the lock

2. While holding the cable, turn the cable adjuster inward

or outward until clutch lever freeplay is 0.5-1.5 mm.

securely.

engine should not start in gear with the clutch lever

released.
