5. Setup and Installation

Installation is designed to be straightforward. Please follow these steps carefully:

1. **Remove Original Parts:** Carefully remove any corresponding parts or fasteners that obstruct the radiator area. Some original fasteners, especially plastic riveted screws, may require careful handling (e.g., pulling 3mm before unscrewing) to avoid breakage.
2. **Position the Grille Cover:** Place the KEMiMOTO Radiator Grille Cover in the corresponding location, ensuring it aligns with the radiator. Note that each protector is specific to its side (left or right).
3. **Secure the Screws:** Use the provided mounting hardware (screws and nuts) to secure the grille cover. In some cases, original fasteners may fit perfectly and can be reused.

6. Operating Instructions

Once properly installed, the KEMiMOTO Radiator Grille Cover operates passively by providing a protective barrier for your motorcycle's radiator and oil cooler. It guards against impacts from sand, stones, and other road debris, which can cause damage to the delicate fins of the cooling system. The honeycomb grid design allows for optimal airflow, ensuring efficient cooling without interference.

7. Maintenance

• **Regular Inspection:** Periodically check the grille covers for any signs of damage, loose fasteners, or accumulated debris.
• **Cleaning:** Clean the grille covers with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the anodized finish.
• **Fastener Check:** Ensure all mounting screws remain tight to prevent vibration and potential loss of the covers.

8. Troubleshooting

• **Fitment Issues:** If the grille cover does not fit perfectly, especially if one of the top pins does not align, double-check that you have the correct cover for the left/right side. While designed for a precise fit, minor adjustments might be needed in rare cases.
• **Rubbing:** If the cover rubs against other fittings, ensure it is correctly seated and all fasteners are tightened evenly.
• **Loose Cover:** If the cover feels loose after installation, re-tighten all screws. If the issue persists, inspect the mounting points for any damage or wear.
