D) Left Throttle Adjustment

THE FOLLOWING IS THE MOST CRITICAL PART OF THE INSTALLATION PROCESS!

1) With the right throttle in the FULLY CLOSED position and while holding the throttle plate from moving, pull the bare cable end

firmly to the right to allow about 1/4 tio 3/8 inch opening on left throttle lever.

2) Using the 4mm allen wrench, tighten the short allen screw into the barrel bolt to secure the cable. DO NOT TIGHTEN COM-

PLETELY until you are satisfied with the adjustment of the cable (this will flatten the cable inside the barrel bolt, making it more

difficult to adjust).

3) Slowly engage the left throttle (with the engine off, of course--we had to put that in for obvious legal reasons) while watching the

movement of the right-side adapter plate. If adjusted properly, the right throttle should open fully, and then CLOSE COM-

PLETELY when left throttle is released. If it does not do this, continue adjusting position of cable inside barrel bolt until throttle

opens and closes fully. When satisfied with adjustment, tighten allen screw into barrel bolt. (NOTE: There should be one

washer between the allen bolt head and the top side of the adapter plate, and another washer between the plate and the barrel

bolt. When the allen bolt is tightened completely into the barrel bolt it will secure the cable, but there should still be a tiny bit of

clearance so the barrel bolt can rotate freely without binding.) Use your best judgment so you don’t strip threads in the barrel

bolt (we’ve never done it yet, but we’re sure someone out there might be stronger than us….)

4) One more test: Engage the right throttle flipper fully with your right hand while watching the left throttle. Does the left throttle

move any more than 1/8” to ¼”? If so you need to remove the friction by loosening the pivot bolt in 1/8 turn increments until the

left throttle movement is reduced to less than 1/8” to ¼”.

5) Final step: Now you’re ready to trim the excess cable. It’s best to use a sharp pair of diagonal cutting pliers or other suitable

wire cutters. You should leave about ½”” of cable sticking out of the blunt (right) end of the barrel bolt. Push the bare wire into

the aluminum crimp cap included with your kit, and crimp lightly with pliers to secure it on to the cable.

6) Before starting your machine, confirm that OEM throttle is in the fully closed (idle) position.

E) VOILA, YOU’RE FINISHED! Now you’re ready for the real test!)

BEFORE EACH RIDE

Always inspect both ends of the cable, the left throttle lever, and the right-side adapter before each ride. Look for mud or ice buildup from

the cold ride on the trailer, loose fasteners and/or kinks in the cable. Make sure before starting engine that both throttles are in the FULLY

CLOSED position. If anything looks amiss, either remedy the problem or remove the adapter plate to disable left throttle. After starting

engine, check to make sure left throttle engages right throttle, and that engine immediately returns to idle when lever is released.

CAUTIONS WHEN RIDING

Getting accustomed to your newly-installed GOLDFINGER left throttle will probably take a day or two of riding. We recommend that you

ONLY use it when sidehilling or hillclimbing. For this reason, we have included a safety locking pin with your kit. This pin should AL-

WAYS be in place when trailriding, loading and unloading (we’ve heard horror stories of people who have accidentally grabbed wide-open

throttle when slowing for a corner, and others of people who have launched themselves through the steel fronts of their enclosed trailers.)

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER allow anyone unfamiliar with your machine to operate without your first inserting the safety locking pin! CHIL-

DREN UNDER THE AGE OF 16 SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO OPERATE AN ATV WITHOUT THE SAFETY LOCKING PIN IN

PLACE. (TIP: Secure your pin to your handlebars with a rubber band so you don’t lose it. If you do lose it, please contact us via email at

sales@fullthrottleinc.com

or call us at (509) 927-7533 for a FREE REPLACEMENT pin.)

AFTER ROLLOVER/CRASH

Any time you roll your machine or crash into something (or worse, someone) it makes sense to thoroughly check out all your controls

before taking off again. After any such incidents, we strongly recommend that you thoroughly inspect your throttle assembly to make sure

your cable is routed properly with no kinks which might cause your throttle to malfunction
