USING INSTRUCTION

DISCLAIMER: NO RESPONSIBILITY ACCEPTED FOR NON-ADHERENCE TO THESE INSTRUCTIONS

KAOKO™ Safety Warning:
The KAOKO™ Throttle Stabilizer is an aftermarket accessory. Any misunderstood, abused or incorrectly installed motorcycle accessory is a safety hazard that could cause injury or death. It’s the rider’s responsibility to understand the operation and purpose for which the KAOKO™ Throttle Stabilizer is designed, namely, for cruising, only when safe to do so. At all other times the control should be disengaged. The KAOKO™ Throttle Stabilizers are to be used only by experienced and responsible riders. See the reverse of the page for full indemnity.

Note: An adjustment to the throttle assembly position may be necessary to suit KAOKO™ Throttle Stabilizers. The throttle assembly position on aftermarket bars, and some OEM bars, is adjustable. The assembly can marginally be re-positioned along the handlebars slightly loosening the throttle assembly clamp screws, and then sliding the throttle assembly along the handle bars (left or right). Once done, firmly tighten the clamp screws to OEM torque specifications. This adjustment is generally not necessary.

Fitting Instructions

• Step 1
  Loosen the OEM central retaining screw to remove and deflect the handguard. This will expose the handlebar as shown in picture 1.
  Note: Make sure to keep your OEM/Original handguard spacer for use in the final assembly.

• Step 2
  Place the KAOKO plastic thrust washer (134-22.4) onto the end of the plastic throttle sleeve as shown in picture 2.
  Note: To enable improved functionality, it is recommended (not essential) to apply very light smear of Automotive grease or Petroleum jelly to the friction face of the
  thrust washer (See Figure 3 at the back of the page)

• Step 3
  Place the Kaoko bar-end end body onto the end of the handlebar as shown in picture 3.

• Step 4
  Place the hand guard and hand guard spacer onto the end of the OEM bar-end weight and secure the entire assembly by inserting and tightening the M6x35 CSK
  screw provided in the KAOKO kit as shown in picture 4.
  Note: It is recommended to use a mild thread-locking adhesive on the threads of the screw.

• Step 5
  Carefully set the rotational resistance of the friction nut by tightening/loosening the grub screw with small adjustments using the 2mm Allen key provided in the Kaoko Kit.
  Take care not to over-tighten risking damage to threads. The nut should have fairly firm rotational resistance. See under Maintenance below.

Operating Instructions

• The Friction Nut has a left-hand thread. In readiness for engagement, the Friction Nut must be adjusted so that it makes light contact against the thrust washer.
• For correct engagement and disengagement of the unit, the friction nut should be able to rotate between a quarter and a full revolution.

To Engage: While rolling on the throttle, the Friction Nut can be gripped between the small finger and palm. This action tightens the nut and provides sufficient friction to set the throttle to the desired opening. (The friction is such that the rider may still open and close the throttle. The throttle simply has a slight rotational stiffness.)
To Disengage: While rolling off the throttle, grip the Friction Nut between the small finger and palm.

VERY IMPORTANT!! 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.
Maintenance: Remove kit annually. Unscrew the Friction Nut and brush clean threads with a mild soap. Apply petroleum jelly to threads and assemble. Adjust the grub screw to desired operating resistance. (O-Ring cushion: 19.6mm I.D. x 2.4mm section — if replacement is required)
