Handle loose
The handle is loose and was wanting to see if I can tighten it up but don’t know how I should go about it. The button on my other one would just pop out but this one seems it doesn’t. Any ideas ?

Unfortunately the button is attached to a push rod that disengages the shifter which I'm sure you know and when you pry the button out it normally snaps off at the bottom underside of the button. When you pop it out you can tighten the handle up using a socket. If your lucky the button and rod will come out in one piece, if not you'll have to order a new one or try and repair the broken one. I hope this helps.

Place the handle in the "throttle only" at approximately 9pm position.
CAREFULLY pry the button out. Don't worry too much if it breaks- they do sometimes. If it breaks, do your best to retrieve the pieces.
Return handle to the NEUTRAL POSITION (important).
The bolt behind the button requires BLUE liquid loctite on it's threads.
