3. Remove the two M5 x 16 hex washer head screws that secure the shift demand sensor to the underside of the throttle and
shift bracket, and remove the sensor.

Shift Demand Sensor Installation
NOTE: Refer to previous illustrations as required.
1. Attach the shift demand sensor to the underside of the throttle and shift bracket, using two M5 x 16 hex washer head
screws. Tighten the screws to the specified torque.

3. Connect the shift demand sensor harness to the engine harness. Use a cable tie to secure the connection to the engine
harness.
Throttle Demand Sensor
NOTE: The throttle demand sensor is only on models with mechanical throttle and shift controls.
The demand sensors used for the throttle and shift demand are identical. They consist of two hall‑effect sensors in a single
housing, configured such that the value of the output signal of one sensor increases (from 0.5 VDC to 4.5 VDC) as the other
decreases (from 4.5 VDC to 0.5 VDC), and vice versa.
The sensors can be swapped for diagnostic purposes. Exercise special care to ensure that the sensor connections to the
engine harness are correct, prior to attempting to run the engine.
