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
cruise-control system switch on the throttle valve.
The throttle twist grip has to be turned relative to the
throttle-body shaft if this extra rotation is not possi-
ble.
•
Remove the left side section of the fairing.

Caution:
Make sure the cables do not slip out of the adjusting

Preset the play of both cables at the throttle twist
grip to 4 ... 5 mm (0.16 ... 0.20 in) with the engine
cold.
