Before fitting the R&G crash protectors, it is advised that a scissor jack is positioned
underneath the bike at a suitable mounting point to support the weight of the engine
during fitment, as shown in picture 1. A small piece of wood should also be placed
between the jack and the mounting point to help to spread the load.
•
Beginning on the right-hand side of the bike, remove the original engine mounting bolt using a T50
torx key/socket, as shown in picture 2.
•
Now assemble the first crash protector, referring to the RHS assembly diagram on page 2 and
shown in picture 3. First slide a washer (item 5) over one of the new hex-head bolts (item 3),
followed by one of the serrated washers (item 6). Next, slide the bolt assembly through one of the
included crash bobbins (item 1), then slide the longer spacer (item 7) over the exposed end of the
bolt, ensuring the tapered end sits against the bobbin
’
s rear face.
•
Offer the pre-assembled crash protector up to the vacant engine mounting point as shown in
picture 4, then tighten the crash protector bolt using a ratchet fitted with a 17mm socket until you
feel some compression. Tighten a little more so that you feel the compression increase slightly,
then apply a quarter turn. Do not over-tighten as damage can occur to the bike. Do not exceed
40Nm of torque.
PLEASE NOTE, THE CRASH PROTECTOR MUST BE POSITIONED AS IN THE
DIAGRAM ON PAGE 2, WITH THE LARGER END TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE BIKE.
•
Moving to the left-hand side of the bike, repeat the previous steps, assembling the crash protector
with the shorter spacer (item 2), referring to the RHS assembly diagram on page 2 and picture 5.
•
Finally, fit the bobbin caps (item 4) to both crash protectors, as shown in picture 6.
