FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
•
Before fitting the R&G crash protectors, it is advised that a jack is positioned
underneath the bike at a suitable point to support the weight of the engine during
fitment. A small piece of wood should also be placed between the jack and the
mounting point to help to spread the load.
•
Remove the side panels shown in picture 1 on both sides, using a 4mm Allen tool.
•
Starting on the left-hand side, use a T50 Torx tool to remove the rearmost engine mounting
bolt, as shown in picture 2. Make sure to retain the small spacer shown in picture 3 that is
sandwiched between the frame and the engine.
•
Slide the locating boss of the short LHS spacer
(item 3)
into the rearmost hole in the LHS
mounting block
(item 1)
. Place an M10 washer
(item 16)
over the 55mm M10 bolt
(item 10)
,
then pass this through the rear mounting block bore.
•
Offer the assembly up to the rearmost engine mounting hole and loosely tighten in position
using an 8mm Allen tool, as shown in picture 4, leaving enough room to access the front engine
mounting bolt. Using a T50 Torx tool, now remove the front engine mounting bolt as shown in
picture 5.
•
Rotate the mounting block to gain access to the rear side, then slide the locating boss of the
long LHS spacer
(item 4)
into the front mounting hole of the LHS mounting block, as shown in
the diagram on page 3. Place an M10 washer
(item 16)
over the 150mm M10 bolt
(item 11)
,
then pass this through the front mounting block bore. As shown in picture 6, rotate the
mounting block assembly so the mounting hole lines up with the front engine mounting hole,
then fully tighten both bolts using an 8mm Allen tool (torque to 40Nm).
•
Push a flat-cap
(item 15)
into the heads of both bolts as shown in picture 13, then refit the
LHS side-panel using a 4mm Allen tool.
•
Now pre-assemble the crash protector as shown in the diagram on page 3. Slide an M10 washer
(item 16)
followed by a shake-proof washer
(item 17)
over one of the 75mm M10 hex-head
bolts
(item 14)
, then place through one of the crash-protectors
(item 7)
. Finally, slide a short
spacer
(item 9)
over the exposed bolt length.
•
Offer the crash protector assembly up to vacant mounting block tapped hole, then tighten the
crash protector bolt until you feel some compression from inside the protector using a 17mm
socket and wrench, as shown in picture 7. Turn 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 3 WITH THE LARGER END TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE BIKE.
•
Repeat the previous steps for the right-hand side of the bike. Use a T50 Torx tool to remove the
rearmost engine mounting bolt, as shown in picture 8. Slide the locating boss of the short RHS
spacer
(item 5)
into the rearmost hole in the RHS mounting block
(item 2)
. Place an M10
washer
(item 16)
over the 50mm M10 bolt
(item 12)
, then pass this through the rear
mounting block bore.
