Ducati Scrambler 800 - Service manual > Adjusting the throttle cable
The throttle grip in all steering positions must have 2 to 4 mm of free play.
To adjust, work the relevant adjuster (1) located on the control itself.
Check the outer sheath of the throttle control cable for damage at regular intervals.
The plastic covering should show no signs of pinching or cracking.
Lubricate the ends of Bowden cables with the specified grease periodically to ensure they run freely.
Operate the control to check that the inner cable slides smoothly inside the outer cable: if you feel excessive resistance or stiffness, replace the cable.
To lubricate the throttle control you need to loosen the two retaining screws (3) and remove cover (2).
Grease cable end (4) and pulley.
Carefully close the control while engaging cable (4) into slide (5) on cover (2).
Fasten cover and tighten two screws (3) to the torque of 1.8 Nm+- 10%.
Checking rear brake pad wear and replacing brake pads
Check through the slot between the two calliper halves, and make sure that at least 1 mm of the friction material on pads is visible.
