Setup and Installation
Installation of the Puig 6101N License Support requires basic mechanical knowledge and tools. It is recommended to have the motorcycle on a stand for stability during the process.
Tools Required:
- Socket Wrench Set
- Hex Key Set
- Torque Wrench (recommended)
- Thread-locking compound (optional, but recommended for critical fasteners)
Installation Steps:
- Preparation: Ensure the motorcycle is turned off and cool. Disconnect the battery if working near electrical components.
- Remove Existing Components: Carefully remove the original license plate holder and any associated components from the rear of the motorcycle. Note the routing of any wiring for turn signals or license plate lights.
- Mount the Puig 6101N Support: Align the Puig 6101N License Support with the mounting points on the motorcycle's subframe or tail section. Secure it using the provided hardware. Ensure all bolts are hand-tightened first.
- Attach Turn Signals (if applicable): If your model requires turn signal relocation, attach them to the designated mounts on the Puig support. Connect any necessary wiring.
- Install License Plate: Secure your license plate to the Puig support using appropriate fasteners.
- Final Tightening: Once all components are in place and aligned, progressively tighten all fasteners to the motorcycle manufacturer's recommended torque specifications. Apply thread-locking compound if desired.
- Functionality Check: Reconnect the battery (if disconnected) and test all lights (taillight, brake light, turn signals, and license plate light if installed) to ensure they function correctly.
Operating Information
The Puig 6101N License Support is a passive component and does not require active operation. Its function is to securely hold the license plate and, if applicable, turn signals in their proper position.
Ensure your license plate is always clearly visible and free from obstructions as per local regulations.
