Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installing the Acerbis 0017873.040 requires basic hand tools typically used for motorcycle maintenance. To install, remove the existing factory fender by unscrewing the mounting bolts at the rear subframe. Align the Acerbis unit with these same points, ensuring that the plastic tabs seat correctly against the frame. Tighten the bolts firmly but avoid overtightening, which can cause cracking. To maintain the fender’s finish, wash it regularly with a mild detergent and water; avoid abrasive scrubbing pads that can scratch the high-gloss factory finish. If you notice signs of stress or deep gouges after a heavy ride, inspect the mounting points immediately to ensure they haven't loosened due to impact.
