Before fitting the flexible kick-down cable, first remove the air filter and the air intake tubing.

  1. Fit Bowden cable (N) to the support bracket (B).
  2. Wrap the Bowden cable (N) around cam-guide (D) and insert the cable-end (F) into the correct fixing point.
  3. Rotate cam-guide (D) to its maximum position (wide-open throttle plus additional Kick-Down angle), and adjust the Bowden cable (N) using nuts (R) and (R1) until the cable is slightly tensioned.
