Throttle Control Grip
See
Figure 1. The throttle control grip (9) is located on the right handlebar control and is operated with the right hand.
To reduce rider fatigue on long trips, a spring loaded throttle friction adjustment screw (10) is located at the bottom of the throttle grip clamp.
1. | Slowly turn throttle control grip clockwise (toward the front of the bike) to close the throttle (decelerate). | |
2. | Slowly turn throttle control grip counterclockwise (toward rear of bike) to open the throttle (accelerate). | |
| WARNING Do not tighten throttle friction adjustment screw to the point where the engine will not return to idle automatically. Over-tightening can lead to loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00031b) |
3. | Unscrew the throttle friction adjustment screw so the throttle returns to the idle position when the hand is removed from the grip. | |
4. | Screw the throttle adjustment screw in to increase friction on grip. This provides a damping effect on throttle motion. | |
NOTE
The throttle friction adjustment screw should not be used under normal stop and go operating conditions.
Clutch Hand Lever
WARNING
Do not position fingers between hand control lever and handlebar grip. Improper hand positioning can impair control lever operation and cause loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00032a)
The clutch hand lever (1) is located on the left handlebar and is operated with the fingers of the left hand.
Slowly pull clutch hand lever in against handlebar grip to fully disengage clutch.
Shift to first gear using the gear shifter lever. See
Controls and Indicators → Gear Shift Lever.
Slowly release the clutch hand lever to engage clutch.
A clutch switch is incorporated into the left handlebar switch assembly. It enables the rider to start the vehicle in any gear as long as the clutch lever is pulled in. If the clutch is not disengaged, the vehicle will not start.
Pole/Pursuit Lamp Switch
The pole and pursuit lamps switch (11) is located on the right handlebar.
From the OFF position, move the switch one position to the right, labeled AUX(ILIARY), to operate the pole lamp, if provided.
From the OFF position, move the switch two positions to the right, labeled PUR(SUIT), to operate the pole lamp (if provided) and the alternate flashing pursuit lamps. An indicator lamp illuminates to show that the pursuit lamp is activated.
NOTE
For FLHPI International configuration Pursuit Lamps are disabled.
