Note:
The throttle twist grip must not be tight against the
stop on the handgrip in the idling position. It must be
possible to turn it a further 10° in the close direction
against a slight spring force. This actuates the crui-
se-control system switch on the throttle valve.
The throttle twist grip must be turned relative to the
throttle body shaft if this is not possible.
