Make sure the handlebars move freely and without obstruction. Check all the
throttle, brake and clutch cables, hydraulic lines and electrical wires to
make sure they are not limiting the movement of the handlebars, and that they
are not binding or becoming kinked or caught in anything. Make sure that all
components of your motorcycle continue to function properly. Improper
handlebar riser installation could lead to throttle, brake or clutch
malfunction and loss of motorcycle control, resulting in an accident, personal
injury or death. Be sure that the nominal diameters of your handlebar risers
and handlebars at the clamping point are the same. Do not force the handlebars
and risers together. The handlebars and risers should rest together easily and
at the clamping point, without any play. If you have any doubt whatsoever,
please see your authorized RIZOMA dealer. Failure to properly match the
diameters of the handlebar risers and handlebars and clamps could cause the
handlebars to fracture, resulting in loss of motorcycle control, an accident,
personal injury or death.
