3. Package Contents

Please verify that all items are present before proceeding with installation:

• SW-Motech FRS.11.112.10700 Footpegs (Left and Right)
• Mounting Hardware Kit (bolts, washers, nuts, pins, springs as required)
• Installation Instructions (this manual)

Note: Specific hardware may vary slightly depending on the exact model year and region.

4. Setup and Installation

Tools Required: Basic hand tools including hex keys, wrenches, and a torque wrench are typically needed. Refer to your motorcycle's service manual for specific torque values for footpeg mounting bolts.

1. Prepare the Motorcycle: Park the motorcycle on a level surface and secure it on its center stand or a paddock stand to ensure stability. Allow the engine and exhaust to cool down completely.
2. Remove Existing Footpegs: Carefully remove the original footpegs from their mounting brackets. Note the orientation of any springs or pins for reinstallation or replacement.
3. Install SW-Motech Footpegs: Attach the new SW-Motech footpegs to the motorcycle's footpeg mounts using the provided hardware. Ensure all components are correctly aligned. Apply thread-locking compound (e.g., Loctite blue) to the mounting bolts if recommended by the manufacturer.
4. Tighten Fasteners: Hand-tighten all bolts first, then use a torque wrench to tighten them to the specifications provided in your motorcycle's service manual or SW-Motech's specific instructions (if provided separately). Do not overtighten.
5. Final Check: After installation, ensure the footpegs are securely mounted and do not interfere with any other motorcycle components (e.g., brake pedal, gear shifter). Test the footpegs for stability and proper function.

5. Operating (Usage)

Once installed, the SW-Motech footpegs provide a stable and secure platform for the rider's feet. Their design aims to offer improved grip and comfort compared to standard footpegs, especially during off-road riding or long journeys. Ensure your feet are always firmly placed on the footpegs while riding, particularly when standing on the pegs for better control over rough terrain.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your footpegs.

• Cleaning: Clean the footpegs regularly with mild soap and water to remove dirt, mud, and road grime. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the footpegs for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Check the rubber inserts (if applicable) for deterioration.
• Fastener Check: Before each ride, or at least during routine motorcycle checks, ensure all mounting bolts are tight. Re-torque if necessary according to the manufacturer's specifications.
• Lubrication: If the footpegs have moving parts (e.g., folding mechanism), apply a small amount of appropriate lubricant to the pivot points as needed to ensure smooth operation.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your SW-Motech footpegs, consider the following:

• Loose Footpegs: If footpegs feel loose, check the mounting bolts and re-torque them to the specified values. Ensure no washers or spacers were omitted during installation.
• Unusual Noise: Rattling or squeaking might indicate loose components or improper installation. Re-check all fasteners and ensure no parts are rubbing against each other.
• Difficulty Folding (if applicable): If the footpegs are designed to fold and are stiff, check for dirt or corrosion in the pivot mechanism. Clean and lubricate as necessary.

If problems persist, contact SW-Motech customer support or a professional mechanic.
