Throttle twistgrip (fig. 43)
The twistgrip (1) on the right handlebar opens the throttles.
When released, the twistgrip returns automatically to the
initial position (idling speed).
Front brake lever (fig. 43 and fig. 44)
Pull the lever (2) towards the twistgrip to operate the front brake.
The system is hydraulically assisted and you only need to pull the
lever gently.
The brake lever has a knob (3, fig. 44) for adjusting the
distance between lever and twistgrip on the handlebar.
To adjust it, keep lever (2) fully extended, and turn knob (3),
turning it in correspondence of one of the four foreseen
positions.
Keep in mind that:
position no. 1 corresponds to the maximum distance
between the lever and the knob, whereas position no. 4
corresponds to the minimum distance.
Warning
Before using these controls, read the instructions on
page 70.
Warning
The front brake lever must be adjusted when the
motorcycle is stationary.
