FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
If fitting to the RSV4 ’15-
- To fit the radiator guard to the bike cut the foam strip provided into 10mm wide pieces and stick them to the back of the radiator guard frame, so that they sit between the radiator guard and the radiator.
- Remove the upper fairings on both sides of the bike. To do this on the right side, first remove the three bolts as arrowed in picture 1.
- Using a flat headed screwdriver, remove the three push rivets on the inside of the fairing panel, as arrowed in picture 2.
- Remove the remaining two bolts that are arrowed in pictures 3 & 4.
- The fairing panel can now be removed from the bike by gently pulling the top of the panel away from the bike by about 45 degrees and then upwards, releasing the plastic mount, as shown in picture 5. This can be tricky to get both panels to detach.
- Repeat the previous four steps to remove the upper fairing on the left side of the bike.
- The lower fairing/bellypan can now be removed by removing the bolt on the underside towards the back, as shown in picture 6 along with the two bolts on either side, as arrowed in picture 7.
- Now remove the oil cooler surround by removing the two bolts that locate it in the top two corners, as shown in picture 8.
- Offer the R&G Radiator Guard into place and locate one of the spacers between the top mount on the left side of the bike and the hole on the top of the radiator, ensuring that the square side of the angled spacer with the raised profile fits within the slotted hole on the radiator guard mount, before looping a cable tie through both and then through the hole in the plastic surround, before loosely tightening, as shown in pictures 9, 10 & 11.
- Fit the remaining spacer and cable tie to the mount on the other side of the bike in the same way.
- The lower two mounts should now align with the two mounting holes on the bottom of the radiator, as shown in picture 12.
- Re-fit the plastic oil cooler surround along with the two mounting bolts, ensuring that the bolts locate through the plastic oil cooler surround, then through the mounting holes on the radiator guard and into the threaded J-Clip on the radiator mount, as shown in pictures 13 & 14.
- Ensure the radiator guard is correctly mounted before fully tightening the two bolts and two cable ties.
- Re-fit the lower fairings/bellypan to both sides of the bike in the reverse process of how they were removed.
- Re-fit the two upper side fairings to the bike in the reverse process of how they were removed.
If fitting to the Tuono ’15-
- To fit the radiator guard to the bike cut the foam strip provided into 10mm wide pieces and stick them to the back of the radiator guard frame, so that they sit between the radiator guard and the radiator.
- Remove the two bolts at the front of the oil cooler surround along with the bolt at the rear on the underside and remove the surround from the bike, as shown in pictures 15 & 16.
- Remove the two bolts at the top of the radiator that mount the radiator surround in place, as shown in picture 17.
- Offer the R&G Radiator Guard into place by sliding up between the radiator surround and radiator at the top and align the two mounting holes on the radiator guard with those in the radiator & surround. Re-fit the original bolts, as shown in picture 18.
- Note : If fitting to the ’19 model onwards, the horn bracket must be removed prior to fitting the radiator guard. The horn bracket can be re-mounted once the radiator guard is fitted.
- The lower two mounts should now align with the two mounting holes on the bottom of the radiator, as shown in picture 19.
- Re-fit the plastic oil cooler surround along with the two mounting bolts, ensuring that the bolts locate through the plastic oil cooler surround, then through the mounting holes on the radiator guard and into the threaded J-Clip on the radiator mount, as shown in picture 20.
- Ensure the radiator guard is correctly mounted before fully tightening the four bolts. Please note that when fitting to the Tuono, the two spacers and cable ties are not required.
- Re-fit the remaining bolt on the underside of the oil cooler surround.
