Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Motorcycle: Park the motorcycle on a level surface using a center stand or paddock stand to ensure stability. Turn off the engine and remove the ignition key.
2. Remove Old Components:
   • Carefully disconnect the brake line from the old master cylinder. Be prepared for brake fluid leakage and protect painted surfaces.

   • Remove the old handlebar grips. You may need to cut them off if they are glued.
3. Install New Handlebar Grips:
   • Clean the handlebar surface thoroughly.
   • Slide the new grips onto the handlebars. For the throttle side, ensure the grip rotates freely with the throttle tube.
   • Secure the grips using the provided clamps or adhesive if necessary.
4. Install Brake Master Cylinder Assembly:
   • Mount the new brake master cylinder assembly onto the right handlebar.
   • Connect the brake line to the new master cylinder. Ensure a tight, leak-free connection.
   • Fill the reservoir with fresh brake fluid (refer to your motorcycle's manual for the correct type).
   • Bleed the brake system until all air bubbles are removed and the brake lever feels firm.
