INSTALLATION
NOTE
Verify to cut the right grip large enough to prevent contact with the guard.
1. See Figure 3. Carefully cut the end of the grip.
a. Left grip: Cut to the size of the inner diameter of the handlebar.
b. Right grip: Cut to the size of the twist grip inner sleeve.
2. Assemble guard components:
a. Left grip uses short shank: See Figure 1. Apply a small amount Loctite 243 (blue) to screw (1). Insert screw through guard (2) and start in the clamp (3).
b. Right grip uses long shank: See Figure 2. Apply a small amount Loctite 243 (blue) to screw (1). Insert screw through guard (2) and start in the clamp (3).
3. See Figure 4. Insert assembly into the end of the handlebar until the shoulder (2) contacts the handlebar.
4. Tighten screw. Tighten to 21.7 N·m (16 ft-lbs).
WARNING
Before starting engine, be sure throttle control will snap back to idle position when released. A throttle control that prevents engine from automatically returning to idle can lead to loss of control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00390a)
5. Verify that throttle control does not bind and operates freely.
