FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE REMOVING ENGINE BOLTS, ENSURE THE BIKE IS UPRIGHT AND SUPPORTED BY A
SUITABLE ENGINE STAND OR JACK PLACED UNDER THE SUMP OF THE MOTORBIKE TO
SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE ENGINE, THIS WILL PREVENT THE ENGINE FROM MOVING
DURING FITTING. ENSURE THE BIKE IS SWITCHED OFF DURING FITTING.
•Stand the bike upright and support the underside of the engine with a suitable bike jack.
•Throughout the fitting you will need access to both sides of the bike, having an assistant will
make the fitting easier.
•Beginning on the Right-Hand side of the bike, remove the two engine bolts at the front of the
engine, you will need to ensure the nut on the left-hand side of the bike does not spin while
removing these bolts.
•Fit the M10 washers (item 11) to the M10x1.25x130mm Cap head replacement engine bolts
(item 4).
•Referring to the Assembly diagram on page 3, offer the RHS Crash protector assembly (item
2) into place and hold in place with two cap head bolts in the lower holes arrowed in picture 1
passing the bolts through the engine as originals removed in the previous step. The head of the
bolt and washers should sit into the counter bore of the bracket.
•On the LHS of the bike, remove the horn to improve access by removing the button head bolt
shown in Picture 2 and removing the 2 spade connectors, noting the position of the connectors
for later.
•As shown in picture 3,Peel back the rubber cover and remove the ground earth lead from the
starter motor by removing the nut and round connector from the stud using a 10mm spanner.
•For better access in this area during fitting, remove the horn mount bracket and earth lead as
shown in Picture 4 – this is not essential but will help during the next steps.
•Fit the LHS Crash protector bracket (item 1) over the exposed bolts protruding from the engine
in the position shown ensuring it sits behind the earth wire.
•Carefully fix the bracket in place using an M10 washer (item 11) & M10 Nyloc nut (item 10). It
is best to hold the Nyloc nut with a spanner and tighten to the recommended torque from the
right-hand side of the bike making sure not to contact the exhaust during this step.
oNote, pictures 5 & 6 show a spanner placed in a vertical position on the Nyloc nut
during tightening so as not to disturb the coolant pipe.
•Once both brackets are affixed to the bike, re-attach the earth lead for the starter motor
looping the connector over the stud in the clearance hole in the bracket as shown in picture 7,
the lead should be adjusted to point outwards to clear the bracket. Re-fit the original securing
nut with an open ended 10mm spanner as shown in picture 7.
•If removed, re-fit the horn bracket and horn ensuring the earth lead is fitted as before.
•Now both brackets are secured in place, fit the long spacer (item 3) between the brackets
aligned to the two holes as shown in the Assembly diagram and fix in place using the remaining
long bolt (item 4) with washers (item 11) and Nyloc nut (item 10).
•Following the Assembly diagram on page 3, take one of the M10 hex head bolts (item 5) and
slide a plain washer (item 11) up to the head of the bolt, followed by a lock-washer (item 12).
Pass the bolt through a crash protector (item 6).
•Using a ratchet and 19mm socket, fix the crash protector to each standoff and tighten bolt until
you feel some compression from inside the protector. Turn a little more so that you feel the
compression increase slightly. Then apply a quarter turn. Tighten to 40Nm of torque (do not
exceed this figure, as damage can occur to the motorcycle and the bolt).
•Following the assembly diagram, use the nut and bolt caps (items 7, 8 & 9) to finish off the kit
and protect the bolts from dirt.
•Before riding, check both sides are secure, and the crash protectors cannot rotate.
•Check the horn is functional before riding.
