This may cause a
malfunction of the airbag.
This may cause a delay
of activation.
Screw tightly
Wing screw
Grooves
1.Place a coiled wire in the grooves of the loop setter and fix it
firmly by turning the wing screw.
2.Make a knot as shown on right image and tie the knot firmly.
Leave more than 2cm of the wire outside of the knot and
cut any excess wire and cap the cut end. Without the knot, a
wire may come off the loop setter and the airbag will not be
activated.
3.Before every ride, check if the wing screw is tightened and
the knot is tied firmly.
After the length of the coiled wire is adjusted and decided,
put wires in the grooves of the loop setter and tighten the
wing screw to fix them firmly.
Protector tube
Protect a motorcycle and a coiled wire against damage.
Pass a coiled wire through a protector tube to protect the part of the wire wound round the frame or
handlebar etc. of the motorcycle. Cut the excess tube depending on the part where the coiled wire is fixed.
Attaching the Coiled Wire to Motorcycle
Where and how to attach the “coiled wire” to the motorcycle varies with the motorcycle.
The rider’s movement when riding also varies. Taking these into consideration, decide
the length of the “coiled wire” and the part of the motorcycle where it is to be attached
(see page 12). Improper attaching may cause an accidental activation. Or the Hit-Air
may not work in the event of an accident.
1.The connector part or other parts of the coiled wire can be damaged or
misshapen when touching high temperatures such as an engine.
Please attach the coiled wire where it doesn’t interfere with control of
the motorcycle.
2.Due to the elastic nature of the “coiled wire”, the “key ball” or the
“one-touch release”, they may hit the fuel tank or other part of the
motorcycle when the Hit-Air is activated.
3.If the “coiled wire” is not attached to the motorcycle properly, it may come
off when it is stretched then the Hit-Air will not be activated.
4.Replace the “coiled wire” if any damage or change of shape is found.
*Do not use the coiled wire other than the one supplied by an authorized dealer.

knot and cap the cut end.
End
Don't fix the coiled wire to any part where it would disturb
driving the motorcycle, where it would lead to damage a
part of the motorcycle, where it may come off when it is pulled
and where it becomes hot (over 60
℃
) such as the engine or muffler.
