Troubleshooting
Hand protectors feel loose after installation
Ensure the inner mounting bar is fully seated within the handlebar and that all mounting bolts are securely tightened. Check that handlebar dimensions meet the specified requirements.
Controls (throttle, brake, clutch) are stiff or don't move freely
Loosen the mounting hardware for the hand protectors and reposition them slightly. Ensure the lever perches are not being pinched by the protectors. Reinstall controls to confirm smooth operation before final tightening.
Ventilation covers are difficult to remove or reattach
Gently push or pull on the designated areas of the covers. If they are stiff, a small amount of silicone spray can help, but avoid using petroleum-based lubricants.
Protectors hit other accessories on the handlebar
Adjust the position of the hand protectors along the handlebar or consider repositioning other accessories if possible. Ensure the protectors do not interfere with the full range of motion of levers and cables.
