4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly install the GPS/Navigation Mount on your Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX Performance (2020+).
- Prepare the Motorcycle: Park your Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX Performance on a level surface and ensure the engine is off and cool. For stability, place the motorcycle on its center stand or a paddock stand.
- Identify Mounting Points: The Evotech Performance mount utilizes existing mounting points on the motorcycle's handlebar or dashboard area. Refer to your motorcycle's service manual for specific locations if unsure.

This plate typically connects via a ball joint or a similar adjustable mechanism, allowing for angle adjustment. Secure it firmly but do not overtighten, as you may need to adjust the angle later.
