2. Setup and Installation
Professional installation is highly recommended for this product. Ensure the motorcycle is stable and secure before beginning any work. Always refer to your motorcycle's service manual for specific torque specifications and safety procedures.
2.1 Components Overview
Familiarize yourself with all components before installation. The package includes two adjustable footrest assemblies (left and right) and associated hardware. Refer to the image below for a visual guide to the components.
2.2 Installation Steps
- Preparation: Ensure the motorcycle is on a stand and stable. Disconnect the battery if working near electrical components.
- Remove Stock Rearsets: Carefully remove the original footpeg assemblies, including footpegs, shift/brake levers, and any associated linkages or brake light switches. Retain any stock hardware that may be required for reinstallation or future use.
- Mount Main Plates: Attach the new Arashi main plates to the motorcycle frame using appropriate bolts. Do not fully tighten at this stage.
- Assemble Footpegs: Secure the footpegs to the main plates. Note the multiple mounting holes for position adjustment.
- Install Shift/Brake Levers: Attach the shift lever and brake lever to their respective pivot points on the main plates. Ensure smooth movement.
- Connect Linkages: Connect the shift rod to the shift lever and gearbox. For the brake side, connect the brake rod/linkage and ensure the brake light switch is properly engaged and functional. The rearsets are designed to control the brake light.
- Initial Adjustment: Set the footpegs and levers to a neutral or desired starting position.
- Tighten Hardware: Once all components are in place and aligned, progressively tighten all bolts to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications. Use thread-locking compound where appropriate.
- Final Checks: Verify that all moving parts operate smoothly without binding. Check for proper brake light activation and ensure there is no interference with other motorcycle components.
3. Operating Instructions
The Arashi Adjustable Foot Pegs Rear Sets offer multiple adjustment points to customize your riding ergonomics.
3.1 Footpeg Position Adjustment
The main plates feature multiple drilled holes, allowing you to change the horizontal and vertical position of the footpegs. To adjust:
- Loosen the bolts securing the footpeg to the main plate.
- Move the footpeg to the desired position.
- Ensure the footpeg is securely seated and tighten the bolts firmly.
- Repeat for the other side, ensuring symmetrical positioning.
3.2 Shift and Brake Lever Adjustment
The shift and brake levers can be adjusted for angle and reach to optimize comfort and control.
- Shift Lever: Adjust the length of the shift rod to change the angle of the shift lever relative to the footpeg. Ensure full range of motion for gear changes.
- Brake Lever: Adjust the position of the brake lever to achieve the desired pedal height and feel. Ensure the brake light switch activates correctly with minimal pedal travel.
After any adjustment, always check for proper function and ensure all fasteners are tightened to prevent accidental movement during riding.
4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Arashi Rear Sets.
- Cleaning: Clean the rearsets regularly with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials that could damage the anodic coating.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect all bolts, nuts, and pivot points for tightness. Check for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage to the aluminum components.
- Lubrication: Apply a small amount of appropriate grease or lubricant to the pivot points of the shift and brake levers to ensure smooth operation.
- Brake Light Switch: Verify the brake light switch is functioning correctly and activating the brake light when the pedal is pressed. Adjust if necessary.
