See 2.24 THROTTLE CONTROL.
NOTES
See Figure 6-32. The paint mark needs to be lined up
visually with the inside edge of the right (and left) hand
control.
See Figure 6-33. The hanging loop is critical to the life of
the heated grip wire, especially on the right hand grip, as
it is in motion when the motorcycle is ridden. In order to
maintain the wire loop, secure the right hand grip wire to
the throttle cables.
