3. Setup and Installation
The KEMIMOTO tail bag is designed for quick and secure attachment to your motorcycle. Follow these steps for proper installation:
- Prepare the Bag: Ensure the bag is packed and the roll-top closure is securely fastened to prevent water ingress.
- Position the Bag: Place the tail bag on the rear seat or luggage rack of your motorcycle. Ensure it is centered and stable.
- Attach Straps: Utilize the four quick-release straps. Loop each strap around a secure point on your motorcycle (e.g., passenger footpeg mounts, frame, luggage rack).
- Secure Buckles: Connect the buckles of the straps to the corresponding points on the bag.
- Tighten Straps: Pull the loose ends of the straps to tighten the bag firmly against the motorcycle. Ensure there is no excessive movement. The bag should be snug and not interfere with riding controls or passenger comfort.
- Use Air Valve (Optional): If the bag is not fully packed, open the integrated air valve, compress the bag to release excess air, then close the valve. This helps create a more compact and stable load.
- Final Check: Before riding, double-check all straps and buckles to ensure they are securely fastened and the bag is stable.
