RIGHT SIDE
Important Fitting Procedure
Installation is shown for the right side. Repeat for left side with applicable parts. Loosely fit the clamp parts to the tapered section of handlebar (see diagram).
Note: The rings machined on the inside of the clamp surface identify the larger section of the clamp. Rings must be positioned toward the larger section of the handlebar or centre of the motorbike.
Important: Rings on the top and bottom clamp halves, must align with each other.
- Attach bar end parts as per diagram to the backbone and original plastic handguard.
- Insert into handlebar end. Do not tighten at this stage.
- Attach inner end of backbone to clamp connector (7) with bolt (2).
- Tighten the bar end bolt (13) lightly.
- Position the backbone so it clears the tank by at least 10mm when the steering is at full lock.
Tighten all bolts in the following order using the recommended torque specifications over page.
- Tighten bolt (13) into the handlebar end.
- Tighten bolt (2) through the aluminium bar (1) to the clamp connector (7) of the clamp assembly.
- Tighten bolt (5) to solidly lock the clamp connector (7) between the clamp saddles (3).
- Tighten bolt (4) to secure the clamp assembly firmly to the handlebar. The gap between the 2 saddle should be even, front an back.
Note: The clamp is designed to allow the nut on bolt (5) to pull into the recessed hole. This eliminates the need for a wrench after the bolt starts to tighten.
Hardware
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:
Check the 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.
