SW-MOTECH M8x25BHCSZP Socket Cap Screws Zinc Plated
Preparation
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.
Installation for Left Side
- Repeat for right side with applicable parts.
- Loosely assemble the clamp to the handlebar as per diagram. Attach the handguard backbone with applicable parts to the handlebar end and also to the clamp connector (4).
- Position backbone so it is horizontal when viewed from the side and tighten all bolts in the following order: (10), (8), (7) then (6).
Note : Most handlebars will require left connector (4) on left side. Magura and some other handlebars will require right connector (5) on left side.
Important: Use the specified torque setting over page.
SPARE PARTS
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.
Recommended Torque Settings
M6| 10 Nm (7.4 lbf ft)
M8| 20 Nm (14.8 lbf ft)
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.

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.

Fitment to KTM 790 Adventure/R (2019)
- UNIVERSAL TAPERED HARDWARE JET-002 or BHG-152
NOTE:
- Requires additional 10mm spacer & bolt B-078
- Requires handlebar to be set in the standard centre position or back position.
- Forward handlebar position may cause interference with instruments at full steering lock.
Handlebar in most forward positions may cause interference at full steering
lock (not recommended)
The recommendation is for the handlebar to be in centre or rear position
NB: if the handlebar is in center position and then “rolled” forward it
may cause handguards to touch the instruments at full steering lock (precise
handguard height & position will affect this)
