Run 6 drops of light oil (sewing machine oil is ideal, NEVER use engine oil) down each throttle cable.
Place a thin bead of engine oil on the handlebar and replace the throttle grip on the bar. Spin the grip to spread
the oil around.

INSTALLATION

Installing the carburettor cable.

We recommend placing a drop of LOW strength thread locker,
such as Loctite 242, on the threads of the adjuster on the new
cable to lock the bottom lock nut in place.
The top nut has been locked in place on the adjuster to make it easier to tighten the adjuster. Tighten the
adjuster GENTLY. The adjuster is made of brass and will break if over tightened. We have had a couple of
instances where the adjusters have broken during installation due to over tightening the adjuster. If thread lock
compound is used on the lock nut, it is not necessary to over tighten the lock nut.
Reassemble the air filter housing and replace the fuse box in the holder.

Installing the actuator.

The actuator is mounted in the air cavity behind the radiator on the left side of the bike and uses the horn
mounting bracket and the fairing frame as attachment points.
Disconnect the horn wires from the left side horn. Remove the
horn mounting bolt and remove the horn.
If desired, tape can be wrapped around the fairing frame, at the
point where the actuator mounts to the frame, to prevent paint
damage.
Connect the long end of the vacuum hose supplied in the kit to
the actuator hose barb. Make sure that the white end of the one
way valve in the hose is facing the actuator.

Place the cylindrical nipple on the new cable supplied in the kit in
the carburettor cable spool where the bikes original cable was
attached. Position the adjuster on the cable bracket on the
carburettors with one nut on each side of the bracket.
