4. Setup & Installation

The Shad 3P System is designed for straightforward installation. Follow these steps carefully.

4.1 Tools Required

• Metric Allen key set
• Metric wrench set
• Torque wrench (recommended)
• Thread-locking compound (e.g., Loctite, recommended for critical fasteners)

4.2 Installation Steps

1. Prepare the Motorcycle: Park the Yamaha MT09 on a level surface using its center stand or a paddock stand for stability. Ensure the engine is off and cool.
2. Identify Mounting Points: Locate the designated mounting points on the motorcycle's subframe and passenger footpeg brackets. Refer to the specific diagrams provided with your kit for exact locations.
3. Attach Rear Brackets: Secure the rear mounting brackets of the 3P System to the motorcycle's subframe using the provided bolts and spacers. Do not fully tighten at this stage.
4. Attach Front Brackets: Connect the front mounting brackets to the passenger footpeg mounts. You may need to remove existing bolts and replace them with the longer ones supplied in the kit. Again, do not fully tighten.
5. Mount Side Carrier Frames: Carefully position the left and right 3P System side carrier frames onto the attached brackets. Align all mounting holes.
6. Secure Frames: Insert all remaining bolts and fasteners to secure the side carrier frames to the brackets.
7. Align and Tighten: Once all bolts are in place, ensure the entire system is properly aligned and level. Begin to progressively tighten all bolts, starting from the main attachment points and working outwards. Use a torque wrench to tighten all fasteners to the motorcycle manufacturer's specifications or the torque values provided by Shad, if available. Apply thread-locking compound to critical fasteners as recommended.
8. Final Check: Double-check all bolts for tightness. Gently shake the installed system to ensure it is rigid and secure.

• Cleaning: Clean the carrier system with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the entire system for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Check for loose bolts, cracks, or deformation.
• Fastener Check: Re-check the tightness of all mounting bolts at regular intervals, especially after the first 500 km (300 miles) and before long trips.
