Setup and Installation

Follow these steps carefully for proper installation. It is recommended to have a second person assist during certain stages.

Required Tools (Not Included):

Installation Steps:

  1. Prepare the Motorcycle: Park the motorcycle on a level, stable surface. Secure it using a center stand or appropriate paddock stands to prevent it from tipping over. Ensure the engine and exhaust are cool.
  2. Identify Mounting Points: Locate the designated mounting points on the motorcycle frame. These typically involve existing engine mount bolts or frame attachment points. Refer to the diagrams below for visual guidance.
  3. Remove Existing Bolts (if necessary): Carefully remove any existing bolts from the identified mounting points. Work on one side of the motorcycle at a time to maintain structural integrity.
  4. Position the Crash Bar: Hold the crash bar (e.g., left side) in position, aligning its mounting holes with the frame's attachment points.
  5. Install Mounting Hardware: Insert the provided bolts, washers, and spacers as indicated in the assembly diagram. Apply a small amount of thread-locking compound to the bolt threads before insertion. Hand-tighten all bolts initially.
  6. Repeat for Opposite Side: Follow steps 3-5 for the other side of the motorcycle, installing the second crash bar.
  7. Align and Adjust: Once both crash bars are loosely installed, ensure they are properly aligned and do not interfere with any other motorcycle components (e.g., handlebars, fairings, cables).
  8. Torque All Fasteners: Using a torque wrench, tighten all mounting bolts to the manufacturer's specified torque values. Refer to your motorcycle's service manual for specific frame bolt torque specifications, or use general torque values for the bolt size if not specified by ZIEGER. Do not overtighten.
  9. Final Inspection: Double-check all fasteners to ensure they are securely tightened. Verify that the crash bars are firmly attached and do not wobble. Start the motorcycle and check for any unusual vibrations or noises.

Usage and Care

Once installed, the ZIEGER Crash Bars require no special operation. They are designed to provide passive protection to your motorcycle's engine and frame in the event of a tip-over or low-speed slide. While robust, they are not indestructible and are intended to absorb impact energy to minimize damage to the motorcycle itself.

To ensure the continued effectiveness and safety of your ZIEGER Crash Bars, perform the following maintenance checks:
