FITTING INSTRUCTIONS for BMW G650X Challenge, Moto & Country
Preparation
If bar end weights are installed they will need to be removed along with the
threaded insert/nut to allow the handguard bar end fitting parts to be
inserted. If the handlebar grips are not open at the end they will need to be
cut open for the handguard to be fitted. Use a sharp knife to cut a hole in
the end of each handgrip. On the right side, the hole size should be neat and
no smaller than the inside diameter of the throttle tube. Loosen the throttle
assembly to move it outward about 20mm. Roll back the end of the grip and use
a hacksaw to carefully cut off the end cap of the plastic throttle tube. Do
not remove more than 3mm and take care not to cut the underlying handlebar.
Before refitting, remove any burrs that could restrict throttle movement.
Important Fitting Procedure
Loosely assemble the clamp to the handlebar as per the diagram. Attach the
handguard backbone with applicable parts to the handlebar end and also to the
clamp connector (3).
Position the backbone so it is horizontal when viewed from the side and
tightens the bolt (9).
The clamp bolts must be tightened in the following order:
Tighten bolt (7) through the aluminum bar (1) and through a spacer (14) to the
clamp connector (3) of the clamp assembly.
Tighten bolt (6) to solidly lock the clamp connector (3) between the clamp
saddles (2).
Tighten bolt (5) to secure the clamp assembly firmly to the handlebar.
Note: The clamp is designed to allow the nut on bolt (6) to pull into the
recessed hole. This eliminates the need for a wrench after the bolt starts to
tighten.

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 below 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.
