4. Setup and Installation

The following steps outline the general installation process. Specific details may vary slightly based on your motorcycle's configuration.

1. Prepare the Motorcycle: Park your Ducati SuperSport 950 on a stable stand. Ensure the ignition is off and the handlebars are in a neutral position.
2. Identify Mounting Location: The Evotech Performance mount is designed to integrate seamlessly with your motorcycle's existing structure, typically near the handlebar clamp or triple tree. Refer to the specific design of your mount for the exact attachment points.
3. Remove Existing Fasteners (if applicable): Carefully remove any bolts or covers from the designated mounting area on your motorcycle. Keep these original parts safe in case you need to revert the installation.
4. Position the Mount Bracket: Place the main GPS mount bracket onto the identified mounting points. Ensure it aligns correctly with the bolt holes.
5. Secure the Mount: Use the provided Evotech Performance hardware (bolts, washers, spacers) to secure the mount bracket. Hand-tighten all fasteners initially to ensure proper alignment. Once aligned, progressively tighten all bolts using appropriate tools. Do not overtighten.

6. Adjust Mount Angle (if applicable): Some mounts allow for angle adjustment. Loosen the adjustment bolts, set the desired viewing angle for your GPS device, and then securely tighten the bolts.
7. Final Check: Gently attempt to move the mount to ensure it is firmly secured and does not wobble. Verify that it does not interfere with steering, controls, or visibility of the instrument cluster.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the mount is securely installed, you can attach your GPS or navigation device.

• Attaching Your Device: Most GPS devices come with a cradle that attaches to the Evotech Performance mount. Align the cradle with the mount's attachment points (e.g., AMPS hole pattern, specific device interface) and secure it according to your device's instructions. Ensure the device clicks or locks into place firmly.
• Removing Your Device: To remove your GPS device, follow the release mechanism specific to your device's cradle. Typically, this involves pressing a release tab or button and sliding the device off.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your GPS mount.

• Cleaning: Clean the mount periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
• Inspection: Before each ride, quickly inspect the mount for any signs of looseness, cracks, or damage. Check that all bolts are secure.
• Fastener Check: Periodically (e.g., every 1,000 km or before long trips), re-check the tightness of all mounting bolts.

7. Troubleshooting

• Mount feels loose: Re-check all mounting bolts and ensure they are tightened securely. If the issue persists, inspect for any missing spacers or incorrect assembly.
• GPS device not secure: Ensure the device's cradle is correctly attached to the Evotech Performance mount and that the device itself is properly locked into its cradle. Check for any obstructions.
• Interference with controls: If the mount or device interferes with steering or controls, re-evaluate the installation. Ensure the mount is positioned correctly and adjust its angle if possible.
