6 General safety instructions
•
For safety reasons the vehicle
battery must be disconnected
prior to the installation.
•
Take particular care that all delivered parts are fastened securely to your vehicle. This is
extremely important for your own and other peoples’ safety.
•
Make sure that your vehicle is equipped with
interference suppressing spark plugs and
connector cables!
Use of the
motoscope mini
with non-suppressed ignition systems can lead to serious
damage to the device!
7 Installation of the
motoscope mini
To ensure correct fastening two metric fastening screws must be used (M3). In order to avoid
distortions of the threaded bores, the fastening bolts must be screwed into the instrument
housing to a minimum depth of 3 mm and a maximum depth of 5 mm. It is therefore important
to select screws appropriate to the thickness of the used mounting bracket. We also
recommend the use of additional washers and screw adhesive (e.g. Loctite medium-strength).
Furthermore, the
maximum torque
applied to the M3 fastening screws must not exceed
4
Nm
.

8.1 Cable routing recommendations
Before routing cables look for suitable cable paths. The cables should be as far away as
possible from hot parts of the engine. Look for a suitable place for the respective cables to
meet with their plugs and for the plugs to be connected with one another. This is usually in the
headlight housing or somewhere below the gas tank. Make sure you take note of the required
lengths of cables before cutting them for best fit. It is important here to consider the full lock of
the handlebars as well as the front and rear wheel travel. All cables should be routed free of
kinks and should not be subject to any tension. In addition, the cables have to be properly
isolated, especially in places where mechanical wear can take place. For fastening the cables
we recommend cable ties of synthetic material.
