Full details

The R&G Racing Cotton Reels in Black are designed for motorcycle riders who need a reliable and dual-purpose solution for protecting their bike's swingarm and components while also enabling easy lifting with a paddock stand. Their key benefit is providing both crash protection and convenience for maintenance. A potential caveat is the need for compatible paddock stand mounting holes on the motorcycle's swingarm.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of R&G Racing Cotton Reels?

Their primary purpose is twofold: to protect the motorcycle's swingarm and drive components from ground contact during a crash or slide, and to provide a secure mounting point for a rear paddock stand, facilitating maintenance.

Do these cotton reels fit all motorcycles?

No, they require specific threaded mounting holes on the motorcycle's swingarm. Compatibility should be checked against your motorcycle model's specifications.

How do I install the cotton reels?

You screw them directly into the pre-existing threaded holes on your motorcycle's swingarm. Ensure the threads are clean and tighten them securely.

Can I use any paddock stand with these reels?

They are designed to work with most rear paddock stands that utilize bobbins or pins for lifting. Ensure your paddock stand is compatible with bobbin-style mounts.

What material are the R&G Cotton Reels made from?

They are made from tough, resilient materials designed to withstand impacts and regular use.

How often should I check the cotton reels?

It's recommended to inspect them regularly for wear and tear, and especially after any incident where they may have contacted the ground. Ensure they remain tight before each use.

What does 'MPN' stand for?

MPN stands for Manufacturer Part Number. For this product, it is CR0032BK.

Troubleshooting

Cotton reels do not screw in properly.

Ensure the threads on both the reel and the swingarm are clean and free of debris. Verify you are using the correct reel for the left and right sides if they are specific. Check that your swingarm has the correct threaded mounting holes for bobbins.

Paddock stand does not fit securely onto the reels.

Confirm your paddock stand is designed to work with bobbins. Ensure the cotton reels are fully tightened into the swingarm and that no foreign material is obstructing the stand's engagement points.

Reels appear loose after installation.

Remove the reel, clean the threads on both the reel and the swingarm, and re-install, tightening securely. If the issue persists, the swingarm threads may be damaged, requiring professional attention.

Visible damage to cotton reels after a fall.

Inspect the reels carefully. If any cracks, significant scuffing, or deformation are present, they should be replaced immediately to ensure continued protection and secure stand mounting.
