Loop the actuator vacuum hose around the front of the actuator 
and down to the adaptor in the inlet manifold.  Push the short end 
of the vacuum hose onto the adaptor just installed in the inlet 
manifold.  Make sure that the white end of the one way valve in 
the hose is facing the actuator. 
 
Replace the faring inner duct and trim panel. 

 
 
 
 
Mount the horn on the actuator bracket using the M6 x 12 bolt, two 
6mm flat washers and the M6 Nyloc nut provided.  Connect the horn 
wires to the horn.  They will be (just) long enough to reach the horn.  
 
 
 
 

Routing the actuator cable. 
 
Move to the right side of the bike. 
 
Looking down from above the right side of the fairing, there is a 
space between the right fairing inner wall (next to the fairing 
pocket) and the bikes frame tube.  The fairing frame bolts to the 
outside of the motorcycle frame near the radiator pressure cap.  
Feed the actuator cable up between the outside of the right side 
frame tube and the inside of the faring frame BEHIND the fairing 
frame mount. 
 
Route the cable back over the coolant reservoir tank. 
 
 
Installing the CIU. 
 
The CIU (Cable Interface Unit) is mounted to the frame tube immediately behind the coolant reservoir tank. 
 
Disassemble the CIU noting the positions of the components.  DO NOT remove the mounting bracket.  The 
parts list at the back of the instructions show the components in the relative locations if required. 
 
Undo the hose clamp all the way and mount the CIU to the frame 
tube behind the coolant reservoir using the hose clamp.  The 
frame tube may be wrapped with tape before mounting is desired 
to prevent scratching the paint.  The hose clamp should wrap 
around the frame tube so that it is touching the cross tube behind 
the air filter housing. 
 
Before tightening the hose clamp, rotate the CIU to the left as far 
as it will go.  The bottom left edge of the CIU should be just 
touching the plastic breather chamber in front of the fuel tank 
filler cap and under the CIU.  This will allow a straight run for the actuator cable into the CIU past the coolant 
reservoir tank.
