4. Setup and Installation

Follow these general steps for installing the Puig 6340N Footpeg Adapters. Specific steps may vary depending on your motorcycle model. Always consult your motorcycle's service manual for detailed instructions regarding footpeg removal and installation.

Required Tools (Not Included):

• Appropriate wrenches or sockets for your motorcycle's footpeg fasteners.
• Torque wrench.
• Thread-locking compound (medium strength, e.g., Loctite Blue) - recommended for critical fasteners.

Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Motorcycle: Park the motorcycle on a stable, level surface. Ensure the engine is off and cool.
2. Remove Existing Footpegs/Adapters: Carefully remove the existing footpegs or adapters from their mounting points on the motorcycle frame. Keep track of all original hardware.
3. Position the Adapter: Align the Puig 6340N adapter with the footpeg mounting point on your motorcycle. Ensure proper orientation.
4. Secure the Adapter: Use the appropriate fasteners (often original hardware or supplied with the adapter, if applicable) to attach the adapter to the motorcycle frame. Apply a small amount of thread-locking compound to the fastener threads as recommended by your motorcycle's manual.
5. Tighten Fasteners: Hand-tighten the fasteners initially, then use a torque wrench to tighten them to the motorcycle manufacturer's specified torque values. Do not overtighten.
6. Attach Footpeg: Once the adapter is securely mounted, attach your compatible footpeg to the threaded end of the Puig 6340N adapter. Ensure it is also securely fastened.
7. Repeat for Other Side: Follow the same steps for the other footpeg adapter.
8. Final Check: Before riding, thoroughly check both footpeg adapters and footpegs to ensure they are securely mounted, free from wobble, and do not interfere with any other motorcycle components.

• Cleaning: Clean the adapters with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
• Corrosion Prevention: While made from durable aluminum, regular cleaning helps prevent build-up that could lead to corrosion, especially in harsh environments.
