3. Setup and Installation
Installation of the Acerbis Full Plastic Kit requires basic mechanical skills and common tools. Ensure your motorcycle is stable and cool before beginning.
- Preparation: Park the motorcycle on a level surface. Gather necessary tools, which typically include screwdrivers, wrenches, and possibly a plastic trim removal tool.
- Removal of Old Plastics: Carefully remove the existing plastic components from your Husqvarna TC65. Note the location and type of fasteners used for each part. Retain all original mounting hardware as it will be reused with the new Acerbis kit.
- Installation of New Plastics:
- Begin with the larger components, such as the radiator shrouds and side panels. Align the new plastic parts with the existing mounting points on the motorcycle frame.
- Secure each piece using the original fasteners. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the plastic or strip threads. Tighten until snug.
- Install the front and rear fenders, ensuring they are properly aligned and secured.
- Attach the front number plate and fork guards.
- Final Check: After all components are installed, gently check each piece to ensure it is securely fastened and does not interfere with any moving parts or controls.
For detailed, model-specific instructions, refer to your Husqvarna TC65 service manual.
4. Operating Considerations
Once installed, the Acerbis Full Plastic Kit functions as the protective and aesthetic bodywork for your motorcycle. No special operating procedures are required beyond standard motorcycle operation. The durable construction is designed to withstand typical off-road riding conditions.
5. Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your Acerbis plastic kit.
- Cleaning: Wash plastics with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish. A soft cloth or sponge is recommended.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect all plastic components for cracks, damage, or loose fasteners. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage or loss of parts during operation.
- Storage: When not in use, store the motorcycle in a protected environment to prevent prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading over time.
6. Troubleshooting
Most issues related to plastic kits are minor and can be resolved with simple adjustments.
- Loose Fitment: If a plastic component feels loose, check all associated fasteners. Ensure they are tightened securely but not overtightened. Verify that all mounting tabs are correctly seated.
- Misalignment: If a part does not align correctly, remove it and re-seat it, ensuring all mounting points are properly engaged before tightening fasteners. Sometimes, slight manipulation may be required to achieve a perfect fit.
- Damaged Part: In case of significant damage (e.g., cracks from impact), replacement of the individual component is recommended to maintain structural integrity and appearance.
