Throttle cable adjustment procedure needed

[Great adVENTURE]

Is there a write up or does anyone have a procedure for adjusting the thottle cable Freeplay? I ask because the throttle seems tight when rolling on and the cruise control seems to not set right right away. So figuring I would lube everything up and adjust.

I have had 2 RSV's they both had a delay in the cruise kicking in, think its pretty normal on these bikes.

My experience is the same as Craigs. Most of us compensate by setting the cruise and them immediately toggling the access with up. That seems to make it set where you want it to. On the other hand, there is a procedure in the manual for adjusting that freeplay. I've never done it because it never bothered me that much. Here is the page from the manual though.

Thanks!

 

I have never ever has a problem with the cruise not setting immediately and at the speed in which I initiated it. Well until now, throttle rotation seems tight. I have the suggested free play and checked cables to see if there kinked or pinched. Going to lube the cables and throttle tube itself then readjust.
