Throttle Cable Freeplay

  1. Remove the four cover screws from the right handlebar control and remove the cover.

  2. With the handlebars straight ahead, place very light pressure on the throttle lever. A gap of 2-3 mm should be visible between the throttle arm stop pin and the throttle arm.

If Adjustment is Needed:

  1. Locate the throttle cable adjuster. Squeeze the end of the rubber boot and slide it back far enough to expose the inline cable adjuster locknut.

  2. Loosen the adjuster lock nut.

  3. adjust until 2-3 mm of freeplay is achieved between the stop pin and the throttle arm. While adjusting freeplay, flip the throttle lever back and forth repeatedly.

  4. Place the transmission in PARK. Lock the parking brake.

  5. Start the engine and allow the idle to stabilize. If necessary, tap the throttle lever to ensure the idle speed settles.

  6. If idle speed remains above or below the recommended setting (see specification pages), verify the correct gap. If gap is correct and idle speed is still not satisfactory, please see your POLARIS dealer or other qualified service facility for service.

  7. With the engine running, turn the handlebars fully to the left and right. Tap the throttle lever at each turn, verifying that idle RPM returns to the recommended setting. If idle speed increases, it may be necessary to increase the gap between the stop pin and throttle arm, but do not exceed the recommended 2-3 mm gap.

  8. When adjustments are complete, tighten the locknut.

  9. Squeeze the end of the rubber boot and slide it over the cable adjuster to its original position.

  10. Ensure the control cover seal is in place, then reinstall the cover and screws.
