Does it require iST rigging?
Yes. Intelligent Shift and Throttle requires compatible electronic controls and rigging components rather than ordinary mechanical cables at the engine. Confirm the control head, wiring harness, gauges, battery capacity, steering system, and installation requirements before purchase. Proper integration is essential for smooth gear selection and throttle response.
