INSTALLATION
NOTE
Cover the fuel tank with a clean shop towel to prevent scratching. Damage to the finish could result.
| 1. | Remove the two hex head cap screws and split lockwashers on the underside of the upper fork bracket that hold the currently installed risers in place. Discard the screws, but retain the lockwashers for re-assembly. Retain all additional hardware components that become dislodged from the riser when the screws are removed. | |
| 2. | Remove and discard the four screws that fasten the currently installed handlebar upper clamp(s) to the risers. Remove and discard the clamp(s). Remove the handlebar from the risers, and carefully allow the handlebar to rest on the fuel tank. | |
| 3. | Obtain the new slotted risers (1) and hex head cap screws (2) from the kit, and the split lockwashers and hardware components removed in Step 1. NOTE The upper cup washer (A) must be oriented with the flat side up, and the lower cup washer (D) with the flat side down. The ground wire (G) and internal tooth lockwasher (H) are mounted to the right-side riser. | |
| 4. | Refer to Figure 1 for the correct orientation and re-assembly sequence. Install the new risers onto the upper fork bracket using the saved hardware and new screws. Snug the riser screws, but do not fully tighten at this time. | |
| 5. | Center the handlebar on the risers. To make sure that the handlebar is centered, verify that the knurled areas on the outboard side of each riser are equal. | |
| 6. | Position the new handlebar upper clamps (3) from the kit, and install with new hex socket head screws (4). Snug the upper screws, but do not fully tighten. | |
NOTICE Improperly aligned handlebars or components can contact the fuel tank when turned to the left or right. Contact with the fuel tank can cause cosmetic damage. (00372b) | ||
| 7. | Slowly turn the front wheel to the full right fork stop and then the full left fork stop to be sure the handlebar does not contact the fuel tank. If contact occurs and the handlebars are properly centered, raise the handlebar angle as necessary until proper clearance is attained. | |
| 8. | Tighten the upper handlebar-clamp screws as follows: a. Tighten the front screws to 16–20 N·m (12–15 ft-lbs). b. Tighten the rear screws to 16–20 N·m (12–15 ft-lbs). c. Tighten the front screws to 16–20 N·m (12–15 ft-lbs). NOTE The gap between the upper clamps and the risers should be equal at the front and rear of the handlebar after tightening. | |
| 9. | One at a time, remove the riser bolts installed in Step 4. Apply two drops of Loctite® 271 (Red) to the bolt threads and re-install. Tighten the riser bolts to 68–81 N·m (50–60 ft-lbs). |
WARNINGBe sure that steering is smooth and free without interference. Interference with steering could result in loss of vehicle control and death or serious injury. (00371a)
- Be sure wires, clutch cables, throttle/idle cables and brake lines do not pull tight when handlebars are turned fully to left or right fork stops.
