| I see this cable on page on page 26 of the parts book. How do you use it?
I dont remember getting one when I bought my GRiSO, perhaps its under the seat, packed
with the worthless tool kit...
Any ideas? | |

| It was in my tool kit. Black cable with gray rings on the end. Works by threading through a helmet strap d-ring and onto a bent/twisted pin welded under the seat on the left side. Works ok, but I'm not a fan of how it hangs the helmet over the muffler (pretty hot after a ride). | |

| Mine was in the not completely useless tool kit. The spark plug tube spanner is functional.  | |

| I use my helmet cable a bit - like Jose, I wasn't keen on it hanging over the muffle, but if you thread it through the D-ring, it hangs from the fixing point he describes over to the other side... over the swingarm. | |

| I used to work in a not-so-nice area of NYC. I parked the GRiSO near work and used the helmet lock cable described.
When I came back a vandal had deposited a McDonalds pancake in my upturned helmet.
I kept my helmet on my desk after that. | |
