Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Acerbis Rear Fender follows standard factory procedures. Before beginning, ensure the bike is on a stable stand and the area around the seat and subframe is clean. You will typically need standard metric hex keys and wrenches to remove the existing mounting bolts. Once the old fender is removed, align the Acerbis unit with the existing subframe mounting holes and secure it using the factory hardware. Do not overtighten bolts, as this may crack the plastic; tighten until snug. For care, keep the fender clean by washing with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents that can degrade the plastic finish or factory color match. If riding in heavy mud, apply a thin layer of silicone spray to the underside to prevent mud buildup.
