FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
If fitting to the RX model, remove the side fairings and bellypan from both sides of the bike,
as shown in pictures 1 & 2.
If fitting to the SX model, remove the side radiator cowling on both sides of the bike.
On both models, remove the black plastic radiator fan duct on both sides of the bike, as
arrowed in picture 3.
Left side (as you sit on the bike)
Remove the engine bolt from the upper frame mount, as shown in picture 4.
Remove the two Torx bolts on the engine case, as arrowed in picture 5. There is a copper
washer fitted to the lower of these two bolts. Do not lose this as it needs to be re-used.
Cut a small strip of the self-adhesive foam supplied (item 11) and stick this to the underside of
frame mount, as shown in picture 6, in order to prevent the frame from being marked when the
crash protector kit is fitted.
Offer the left side mounting block (item 8 – M0407) into position on the bike and locate the
M10 x 1.5 x 110mm long cap head bolt (item 7) with one M10 x 16mm OD washer (item 6)
fitted through the largest hole and into the engine mount. Now fit one M6 x 50mm long button
head bolt (item 9) through the lower of the two small holes on the mounting block, before re-
fitting the OEM copper washer behind the mounting block, and then locate the bolt into the
engine case. Engage the threads of these two bolts a couple of turns, but do not pull the
mounting block up tight at this stage, as shown in picture 7.
Take the remaining M6 x 50mm long button head bolt (item 9) and locate this through the
remaining small bolt hole in the mounting block and engage the threads a couple of turns into
the engine case, as shown in picture 8.
Gently tighten all bolts evenly to pull the mounting block up square, ensuring the back edge
wraps around the frame and fits against the foam. Once in position, fully tighten all three bolts
to the recommended torque settings on page 3.
Re-fit the black plastic radiator fan duct, as shown in picture 9.
The crash protector can now be fitted. Slide one of the 10mm washers (item 3) onto the M10
x 1.25 x 160mm long hex head bolt (item 5) so the washer sits against head of bolt.
Slide one serrated locking washer (item 4) over the bolt so it sits against the washer just fitted.
Next slide the bolt with washers through either crash protector (item 1) so the head of the bolt
and washers go into the counter-bore in, as shown in picture 10.
Locate the longer spacer (item 10 – S0828 –105mm long) over the exposed thread and tighten
this assembly into the remaining threaded hole on the mounting block, as shown in picture 11.
Tighten the crash protector bolt until you feel some compression from inside the protector
using a 17mm socket and wrench. PLEASE NOTE THE CRASH PROTECTOR MUST
BE POSITIONED AS IN PICTURE 'C' WITH BIGGER END TOWARD FRONT OF
BIKE. Turn a little more so that you feel the compression increase slightly. Then apply a
quarter turn. Do not over tighten as damage can occur to the bike. Do not exceed 40N/m of
torque.
Right side (as you sit on the bike)
Remove the Torx bolt that secures the exhaust shield in place, as shown in picture 12. This
should then allow the exhaust shield to be gently rotated downwards to improve access.
Remove the engine bolt from the upper frame mount, as shown in picture 13.
Loosen the pinch bolt that sits behind the coolant hose in order to allow the removal of the
spacer in the frame mount, as shown in pictures 14, 15 & 16.
