FAQs

What material are the swingarm protectors made from?

The R&G Racing swingarm protectors are made from high-density nylon bobbins, chosen for their durability and impact absorption properties.

Do I need any special tools to install these protectors?

No, these protectors are designed for an easy bolt-on installation and typically only require standard motorcycle tools like wrenches or sockets.

How do I know if these protectors will fit my motorcycle?

Compatibility is model-specific. You must verify that the R&G Racing part number (MPN: SP0012BK) is listed as compatible with your motorcycle's make, model, and year on the R&G Racing website or product documentation.

What should I do if my protectors get damaged in a crash?

If the protectors show significant signs of damage (cracks, deep gouges, deformation), they should be replaced to ensure continued protection for your swingarm and shaft drive.

Can these protectors prevent all damage in a crash?

These protectors are designed to mitigate damage from drops and slides by absorbing impact and abrasion. They cannot guarantee prevention of all types of damage, especially in severe incidents.

How often should I inspect the swingarm protectors?

It is recommended to inspect the protectors regularly, especially after riding in adverse conditions or after any minor incident, to ensure they are securely attached and not significantly damaged.

Are these protectors available in other colors?

The product information specifies this variant is Black. Please check with R&G Racing for other available color options for similar products.

Troubleshooting

Protector does not fit correctly

Double-check that you have purchased the correct model for your specific motorcycle make, model, and year. Ensure no foreign objects are obstructing the mounting point.

Difficulty installing bolts

Ensure you are using the correct size wrench or socket. If bolts are seized, consider using a penetrating lubricant and allowing it to soak before attempting removal again. Always follow torque specifications if provided.

Protector shows signs of wear or damage after a minor incident

This is often expected behavior as the protector is designed to sacrifice itself to save more critical components. Inspect for cracks or significant deformation and replace if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation typically involves locating the designated mounting points on your motorcycle's swingarm. The protectors are designed to bolt directly into place. Ensure you have the correct tools to remove and re-tighten any existing bolts or to install new hardware as per the specific product instructions. Always refer to the manufacturer's manual for detailed installation steps for your motorcycle model.

Compatibility: These R&G Racing protectors are specifically designed for certain motorcycle models. It is crucial to verify the compatibility with your bike's make, model, and year before purchasing. Check the product packaging or manufacturer's website for a compatibility list.

Care: After installation, regular inspection is recommended. Clean the protectors with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Following any incident where the protectors have been subjected to impact or abrasion, inspect them for damage and replace them if compromised to ensure continued protection.
