4 | Installation

4.1 | Preparation

Before starting with the installation of the PTFE friction-reducing foil, find a suitable place where
you can work undisturbed and tidily. Set out your tools and the parts you need, place the motorcycle
safely on the stand and fully cover the bike tank with a cloth to protect the paintwork.

4.2 | Removal

Then screw the right-hand switch assembly to the handlebars. Separate the halves of the assembly
so that the throttle twistgrip is exposed. Remove the throttle cables from the mount on the throttle
twistgrip, and remove the throttle twistgrip from the handlebars.
WARNING!
Risk of damage!
Be particularly careful when removing the throttle twistgrip because the throttle
tube under the grip is usually made of thin plastic and can easily become
damaged.
4.3 | Installation
Then insert the throttle twistgrip back into the switch assembly with the Bowden cable mount, and
install the throttle cables on the mount. In the process, check the condition of the throttle cables – it
is imperative that any frayed cables with broken wires are replaced. If necessary, apply a little fresh
lubricant to the throttle cables. Test the function of the throttle twistgrip once more before you close
the switch assembly around the throttle twistgrip again, making sure that you do not trap the throttle
twistgrip in any way in the process.
First unfasten the right-hand end of the original
handlebar. For this you will definitely need
sufficient leverage, as the screw connection is
often stuck tight. It is best to unscrew cross-head
screws with an impact driver. If you do not have
one, a couple of sharp taps with a hammer on a
cross-head screwdriver that fits the screw exactly
and then applying a constant force should help to
loosen the screw.
Clean the handlebar tube on the side of the
throttle twistgrip with a cloth. Place the PTFE
friction-reducing foil around the handlebars. If
necessary, cut off any excess foil neatly and
in straight lines with a scissors. Round off the
corners as shown in the illustration. Push the
throttle twistgrip over the foil on the handlebars.
Now test whether the throttle twistgrip glides
smoothly on the foil. If the foil impedes the
throttle twistgrip, it might not be flat or the piece
of foil might be too large. Adjust until the throttle
twistgrip can be twisted really smoothly over the
foil on the handlebars.
