Fitting Instructions - R&G AB0012BK Mode D'emploi

FITTING INSTRUCTIONS


Remove the central engine bolt that is situated towards the rear of the cylinders, as shown in
picture 1. To do this, remove the nut using a 18mm deep socket on the left side of the bike with a
second person holding the T50 Torx bolt head in place whilst un-tightening.

The bolt can now be removed from the bike. The bolt may need to be gently tapped though using a
soft mallet, as shown in picture 2. It is advisable to use the engine bar supplied in the kit (item 7 –
EB071 – 354mm long) to help tap the bolt through as this will take its place. Please note, there is
a thin spacer that is fitted to each end of the OEM bolt – this needs to be removed and is no
longer required.

With the new engine bar in place, ensure there is an equal amount of bar protruding from either
side of the bike before fitting one spacer (item 6 – S0663 – 62mm long) over the exposed end on
each side, as shown in pictures 3 & 4.

Now remove the T50 Torx bolt at the front of the lower engine/frame mount on both sides of the
bike, as shown in picture 5 on the right side of the bike.

Take one of the expanding frame inserts (item 4 – F0036) and if not already fitted, fit two of the
rubber o-rings into the two grooves, as shown in picture 6.

Take the tapered nut (item 5 – H0047) and locate it into the back recess of the expanding frame
insert, ensuring the tapered edges goes in first. This assembly then needs to be offered up to the
front mount on the right side crash bar (item 10 – CB034) as shown in the Right Side picture.

Locate one M8 washer (item 3) over one M8 x 1.25 x 35mm long button head bolt (item 3) and
position through the crash bar mount, then through the expanding frame insert and tighten into the
tapered nut. Tighten the bolt so that the tapered nut just begins to grip the expanding frame insert.

Now the right side crash bar assembly can be offered up to the right side of the bike. To do this,
position the upper rear mount of the crash bar over the exposed end of the protruding engine bar.
Whilst locating this, ensure the expanding frame insert locates within the front frame boss, as
shown in picture 7. With the o-rings fitted this should be a snug fit (if the bolt into the expander is
too tight then the back of the frame insert will expand making fitment hard – if this is the case,
loosen the bolt slightly). Loosely fit one M12 washer (item 8) and one M12 nyloc nut (item 9) to
the exposed end of thread on the engine bar (do not fully tighten at this stage), as shown in picture
8.

The bottom mount should now be aligned with the lower engine / frame mount. Re-fit the original
Torx bolt and loosely tighten.

To fit the crash bars on the left side of the bike, prepare the expanding frame insert in the same
way as before but fit it to the upper front mount of the left side crash bars (item 1 – CB033), using
the Left Side picture as a reference.

Offer the crash bars with frame insert attached up to the left side of the bike as before, ensuring to
locate the crash bar mounts over the exposed end of the engine bar with the frame insert locating
inside the front frame boss, as shown in pictures 10 & 11. Fit the remaining M12 washer and
nyloc nut to the engine bar.

The bottom mount should now align with the lower engine / frame mount. Re-fit the original Torx
bolt and loosely tighten.

With both bars now fitted and all the mounts loosely fitted, tighten the two M8 button head bolts
in the expanding frame inserts on the front mounts, ensuring the aluminium flange on the frame
