E 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). 1 Front brake lever (fig. 43) 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, fig. 44), 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. Before using these controls, read the instructions on page 69. The front brake lever must be adjusted when the motorcycle is stationary. 2 fig. 43 Warning Warning 2 56 4 1 3 3 fig. 44
