After installation, completely turn handlebars from left to right and back again, several times. Make sure the handlebars move freely and without obstruction. Check all the throttle, brake and clutch cables, hydraulic lines and electrical wires to make sure they are not limiting the movement of the handlebars, and that they are not binding or becoming kinked or caught in anything. Make sure that all components of your motorcycle continue to function properly. Improper handlebar riser installation could lead to throttle, brake or clutch malfunction and loss of motorcycle control, resulting in an accident, personal injury or death. Be sure that the nominal diameters of your handlebar risers and handlebars at the clamping point are the same. Do not force the handlebars and risers together. The handlebars and risers should rest together easily and at the clamping point, without any play. If you have any doubt whatsoever, please see your authorized RIZOMA dealer. Failure to properly match the diameters of the handlebar risers and handlebars and clamps could cause the handlebars to fracture, resulting in loss of motorcycle control, an accident, personal injury or death.
