If the throttle does not snap shut check for possible sources of
friction in the cables, the hand grip and the carburettors and
linkages and check that there is enough free play in the throttle
grip.
Seal the slot in the CIU with a small amount of silicone sealant
such as Silastic sealant.
Sensor magnet installation.
The speed sensor magnet assembly replaces one of the rear brake disc mounting nuts.
Remove one of the rear brake disc mounting nuts.
Because of the potential for variable heights of the brake disc mounting studs, it is necessary to check that the
magnet assembly will fit correctly, and the correct number of washers be placed under the nut when the magnet
is installed. The following procedure will determine how many washers to use.
Place the magnet assembly on the disc mounting stud and hand (DO NOT USE A SPANNER) tighten until it
bottoms. Inspect the face next to the disc closely and determine if the nut has bottomed on the face of the disc
or if the end of the stud has contacted the magnet. The depth of the cavity in the nut should be the same as the
height of the stud. If the stud contacts the magnet first, check the gap under the face of the nut to the disc.
If the gap is less than 0.5mm (0.020") use one flat washer under the nut.
If the gap is greater that 0.5mm (0.020") remove the nut and place a 8mm flat washer on the stud, then screw
the nut back on BY HAND. If the nut bottoms on the washer this is OK. If the magnet bottoms on the stud you
will need to use two washers.
After determining how many washers to use, place a drop of
medium strength thread lock compound, such as Loctite 243, on
the stud and install the washer/s and the magnet assembly.
Tighten the nut to 35-40 N.m (25-29 ft.lb) using a torque wrench.
Rotate the wheel by hand and check that there is at least 2mm
(0.080") clearance between the outside face of the magnet and
any stationary components (brake caliper mount etc).
Speed sensor installation.
Remove the axle pinch bolt from the left side of the swing arm and store the bolt as it will not be re-used.
Place an 8mm flat washer on the head of the M8 x 45 high tensile bolt provided in the kit, place the bolt through
the hole in the sensor bracket and place a stack of five 8mm flat washers on the bolt.
