2010 iron 883, old hd coke bottle style grips.

 

1. Point front wheel straight ahead. With engine OFF, gently
turn throttle control grip (2) to fully open position (fully
counterclockwise) and hold in position.
2. Gently turn adjuster (6) on throttle control cable (4) counterclockwise
until throttle cam (8) touches throttle cam
stop (10). Release throttle control grip and turn adjuster
counterclockwise an additional 1/2-1 turn. Tighten jam
nut on throttle control cable adjuster.
3. Turn handlebars fully to right. Turn adjuster (6) on idle
control cable (5), lengthening sleeve until end of cable
housing just touches spring (9) within cable guide (11).
4. Check adjustment. With throttle friction screw loosened,
twist and release throttle control grip two or three times.
Induction module throttle wheel must return to idle position
each time throttle grip is released. If throttle does not
return to idle, turn idle adjuster, shortening sleeve until
correct adjustment is reached. Tighten jam nut.
45. Slide rubber boot over each cable adjuster.
