Operation
The friction nut has a left-hand thread. It must be adjusted so that it makes light contact with the rubber throttle sleeve. To Engage: While rolling on the throttle, the friction nut can be gripped between the small finger and palm of hand. This action tightens the nut and provides sufficient friction to set throttle to the desired opening. (The friction is such that the rider may still open and close the throttle. It simply has a slight stiffness to it.) To Disengage: While rolling off the throttle, grip friction nut between small finger and palm of hand. The throttle should open and snap closed freely when correctly disengaged. Note: The Grub Screw is set to provide the necessary resistance on thread of friction nut. This may be adjusted periodically to take up wear.

Fitting Instructions
Kaoko™ Cruise Control Kit fit into the end of the handlebar.  For stock grips, simply cut a hole in the end of the rubber grip and insert the Kaoko. Insert bar-weight retaining screw and torque to 18Nm.  Ensure the central retaining screw is firmly tightened.   For aftermarket grips with removable end caps, remove end cap and insert the Kaoko.  For certain types of grips, a slight amount of filing may be required to fit the Kaoko in smoothly. NOT compatible with HD heated grips.

Maintenance
Remove kit annually. Unscrew friction nut and brush clean threads with mild soap. Apply petroleum jelly to threads and assemble. Adjust Grub Screw to desired operating resistance. (O-Ring cushion: 19.6 mm I.D. x 2.4 mm section - if replacement is required)
