Installation and Setup

Follow these steps to properly install your KEMIMOTO Motorcycle Tail Bag:

  1. Prepare Mounting Surface: Ensure your motorcycle's rear seat or luggage rack is clean and free of obstructions.
  2. Position the Bag: Place the tail bag on the desired mounting surface. Ensure it is centered and stable.
  3. Secure with Straps: Utilize the integrated mounting straps to firmly attach the bag to your motorcycle. Thread the straps through secure points on your bike (e.g., passenger footpeg mounts, frame, or luggage rack). Tighten all straps evenly to prevent movement during transit.
  4. Verify Stability: After securing, gently tug on the bag in various directions to confirm it is tightly fastened and will not shift or detach while riding.

Usage Instructions

Maximize the utility of your KEMIMOTO Motorcycle Tail Bag with these operational guidelines:

  1. Expanding Capacity: To increase the bag's capacity from 22L to 34L, locate the expansion zipper around the base of the bag. Unzip this section completely to extend the bag's height.
  2. Organizing Contents: Utilize the main compartment for larger items. The internal mesh pocket is suitable for documents or smaller valuables. Side pockets provide quick access to frequently used items like keys or a phone.
  3. Using the Top Elastic Rope: The elastic rope on top of the bag is ideal for securing lightweight items externally, such as gloves, a map, or a small jacket. Ensure items are tightly secured to prevent loss during riding.
  4. Carrying Options: When off the motorcycle, the bag can be carried using the integrated handle as a handbag or converted into a shoulder bag using the detachable shoulder strap (if included).

Care and Maintenance

Proper care ensures the longevity and performance of your tail bag:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the fabric or water-resistant coating. Allow to air dry completely before storage.
  • Water Resistance: The bag is made from 1680D water-resistant Oxford cloth. For heavy rain or prolonged exposure to moisture, use the included waterproof cover for enhanced protection.
  • Storage: Store the bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure it is clean and dry to prevent mold or mildew.
  • Zipper Care: Periodically clean zippers and apply a silicone-based lubricant to ensure smooth operation.

Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

  • Bag feels loose after installation: Re-check all mounting straps. Ensure they are threaded correctly and tightened securely. Adjust strap tension evenly.
  • Difficulty expanding/contracting the bag: Ensure the expansion zipper is free of debris. If stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant.
  • Contents getting damp: Verify that the main compartment zippers are fully closed. For heavy rain, always use the provided waterproof cover. Inspect the bag for any tears or damage that might compromise water resistance.
  • Zipper sticking: Clean any dirt or grit from the zipper teeth. Apply a zipper lubricant or wax to improve smoothness. Avoid forcing the zipper.
