Control cable bracket assembly

1. Using a 3/8 wrench, secure the cable

brackets (R) to the insides of the
handlebars with one 1/4-20 x 7/8 hex

bolts each.

2. Pull down on each cable so the

control levers (P and Z) contact the
handlebar. Insert the adjustment
barrel (F) of the cable assemblies
into the slots in the cable brackets
(R). Position adjustment barrels on

the cable assemblies so the cable

brackets (R) are between the two
nuts on the cable assembly

adjustment barrels.

Control cable bracket adjustment

The cable assemblies should be adjusted

so the control levers are held against the
handlebars under a slight tension. Adjust

as follows:

1. Unscrew the top adjustment nut (S)

on the cable adjustment barrel several

turns.

2. Adjust the lower adjustment nut on

the cable adjustment barrel until the

control lever is held against the
handlebar under a slight tension.

3. Using two 1/2” wrenches, hold the

lower nut on the adjustment barrel
and tighten the upper nut down until

the cable bracket (R) is securely

tightened against the cable bracket.

4. Repeat on the other side.

Tire pressure

Use an automotive-type tire pressure
gauge. Inflate both tires evenly 15—25

PSI (103-171 Kpa).
