General Instructions
To ensure proper installation and safety, please read these instructions carefully before proceeding. It is recommended to mount one side of the engine guard first, then the other. Failure to do so may leave the engine unsupported.
Torque Specifications: All replaced screws must be tightened to the torque specified in the motorcycle's OEM maintenance manual. If no specifications are provided:
- M10 screws: 54 Nm
- M8 screws: 22 Nm
Recommendations:
- Use a medium strength liquid thread-locker (e.g., Loctite) to secure all screws, bolts, and nuts.
- All fasteners should be checked after driving the first 50 km (approx. 30 miles) to ensure they are tightened to the proper torque.
