2. Safety Information

Always prioritize safety during installation and operation. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or damage to your motorcycle.

• Professional Installation Recommended: If you are not confident in your mechanical abilities, seek professional assistance for installation.
• Check Cable Lengths: Before purchasing and installing, ensure that your motorcycle's stock wiring, brake hose, and clutch cables have sufficient length to accommodate the increased handlebar height. Insufficient cable length can lead to dangerous operating conditions.
• Secure Fasteners: Ensure all bolts and nuts are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications. Loose components can cause loss of control.
• Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the risers and all associated components for signs of wear, damage, or looseness.
• Handlebar Diameter: These risers are designed for 1-inch (25mm) handlebars. Do not attempt to install them on handlebars of different diameters.

3. Package Contents

Verify that all components are present and undamaged before beginning installation.

• Handlebar Risers (2 units)
• Mounting Bolts (various lengths, typically M12x1.75mm)

5. Installation Guide

This section outlines the general steps for installing the Feiteplus handlebar risers. Specific procedures may vary slightly depending on your motorcycle model. Always refer to your motorcycle's service manual for detailed instructions regarding handlebar removal and installation.

5.1 Pre-Installation Checks

• Ensure your motorcycle is on a stable, level surface.
• Gather all necessary tools (wrenches, hex keys, torque wrench).
• Verify that your stock cables (throttle, clutch, brake, electrical wiring) have sufficient slack to accommodate the 5.51-inch rise. If not, longer cables may be required.
• Inspect the risers for any manufacturing defects or damage.

5.2 Step-by-Step Installation

1. Remove Existing Handlebars: Carefully loosen and remove the top clamps securing your current handlebars. Support the handlebars to prevent them from falling and damaging controls or paint. Disconnect any wiring or cables as needed, noting their original routing.
2. Remove Stock Risers: Access and remove the bolts securing the stock risers to the triple tree.
3. Prepare New Risers: Attach the new Feiteplus risers to the triple tree using the provided mounting bolts, washers, and nuts. Ensure they are oriented correctly. Hand-tighten initially.
4. Install Handlebars: Place your handlebars into the clamps of the new risers. Position the handlebars to your desired angle.
5. Secure Clamps: Install the top clamps over the handlebars and risers. Tighten the clamp bolts evenly, alternating between bolts, until snug. Refer to your motorcycle's service manual for specific torque values for handlebar clamps.
6. Reconnect Cables and Wiring: Re-route and reconnect all cables, brake lines, and electrical wiring. Ensure there is no binding, pinching, or excessive tension at any point in the steering range. Check for full lock-to-lock steering without interference.
7. Final Torque: Once everything is in place and checked for clearance, fully tighten all mounting bolts and clamp bolts to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications using a torque wrench.
8. Functionality Check: Before riding, perform a thorough check of all controls (throttle, brakes, clutch, turn signals, horn) to ensure they operate correctly and smoothly.

5.3 Installation Visual Aid

The following video demonstrates a general installation process for motorcycle handlebar risers. While the specific product in the video may differ slightly in height (e.g., 4-inch risers), the installation principles are largely applicable.

6. Operation and Benefits

Once properly installed, the Feiteplus handlebar risers are designed to enhance your riding experience by modifying your handlebar position. The primary benefits include:

• Improved Riding Posture: Raising the handlebars can reduce strain on your back, shoulders, and neck, leading to a more upright and comfortable riding position, especially during long rides.
• Reduced Fatigue: A more ergonomic riding posture can significantly decrease rider fatigue, allowing for extended periods of comfortable riding.
• Enhanced Control: For some riders, a higher handlebar position can offer better leverage and control over the motorcycle.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your handlebar risers.

• Periodic Inspection: Regularly check all mounting bolts and handlebar clamp bolts for tightness. Re-torque to specifications if necessary.
• Cleanliness: Keep the risers clean using a soft cloth and mild cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
• Corrosion Check: Inspect for any signs of corrosion or wear, especially in areas exposed to weather.
