REMOVAL
• Loosen the rear suspension swing-arm nut.
• Lower chain tension to its minimum setting.
• Disassemble brake pedal and rear master-
cylinder from the motorcycle’s frame.
NOTE: Do not remove the brake hose from the caliper.
The braking system needs only to be decoupled
from the motorcycle frame.
• Remove chain guard, guide rollers, and chain
from motorcycle.
• Disassemble and remove upper shock absorber
mounting bolt.
• Unbolt from the frame the linkage between the
swingarm and the shock absorber.
NOTE: There is no lower linkage between swingarm
and shock absorber on KTM PDS models.
NOTE: On certain bike models, some components
(muffler, seat, plastic side panels or rear frame
extension) have to be temporarily removed to
allow removal of shock absorber.
• Remove rear suspension swingarm pivot shaft.
• Remove
the
complete
swingarm/rear
suspension assembly from the motorcycle.
NOTE: The swingarm/rear suspension assembly should
separate completely from the motorcycle.
• Remove mud deflector from rear part of frame.
Bikes equipped with a kick stand
.
• Disassemble and remove the kickstand.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTION
CAUTION: Some bike models
(Honda & Yamaha)
are
equipped with a kickstand / footpeg unit used to
support the bike when not in use. This stand
interferes with the rear conversion system and
should be removed. The kickstand and footpeg
make up one unit; so removing the kickstand means
removing the footpeg as well and therefore the bike
becomes unusable
Two options are available:
- Remove the footpeg / kickstand unit and replace
it by a footpeg without kickstand available from
the OEM (best option).
- Cut away the kickstand portion of the unit and
render it unusable.
DISASSEMBLED PARTS
Some of the components removed from the bike
will be re-used for the Conversion System
installation:
• Front wheel axle and nut.
• Rear swingarm axle and nut.
• Upper shock absorber bolt and nut.
• Crankcase Chain cover and bolts.
NOTE: All other components can be stored. Re-use the
Conversion System parts box to store the
disassembled parts when the Conversion
system is in use.
