4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps carefully for proper installation of the rear fender:
- Preparation: Park the motorcycle on a flat, stable surface. Ensure the engine is off and cool. If necessary, lift the rear wheel using a suitable stand to provide better access.
- Remove Old Fender (if applicable): Locate the mounting bolts or clips securing the existing rear fender. Carefully remove them using appropriate tools. Keep track of all hardware.
- Clean Mounting Area: Thoroughly clean the area where the new fender will be mounted to remove any dirt, grease, or debris. This ensures a secure fit.
- Position New Fender: Align the ACERBIS Rear Fender with the mounting points on your motorcycle's subframe or swingarm. Ensure all holes line up correctly.
- Secure Fender: Insert the provided or original mounting bolts through the fender and into the corresponding holes on the motorcycle. Hand-tighten all bolts first.
- Final Tightening: Once all bolts are in place, progressively tighten them using a torque wrench to the manufacturer's specified torque settings for your motorcycle model. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the plastic fender or mounting points.
- Inspect: After tightening, gently check the fender for any looseness or improper alignment. Ensure it is securely attached and does not interfere with any moving parts (e.g., wheel, chain).
