CAUTION: Installation of the handguard is safety-relevant work and can be complicated. We recommend the installation be performed by a motorcycle service technician. Rideworx accepts no liability for damages caused by improper mounting. All screws, bolts and nuts, including all replacement hardware provided by Rideworx, should be tightened to the torque specified in the table. After the first 50km of riding check all screws, bolts and nuts are tightened to the correct torque. We recommend a medium-strength liquid thread lock product on all fasteners.
WARNING: It is important there is a working clearance (approx 3mm) between the throttle grip end and the handguard to ensure a free closing throttle. Check operation of all handlebar controls, specifically, the throttle, front brake, kill switch and clutch to ensure they are operating correctly and are in accordance with the OEM specifications. Do not ride the motorcycle if any controls are not operating correctly. Check periodically that all bolts are tight.

Disclaimer:

A failure to follow these fitting instructions could cause serious injury, death or property damage. These handguards are intended solely for use with motorcycles/ATV/snowmobiles/scooters that have not been modified. They are not designed
to prevent injury or death while riding or in an accident or crash. The user must ensure that all controls are free of the handguards every time that they ride. By installing and/or using this product you acknowledge that you accept these terms
and have followed the fitting instructions.
