FAQs

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

Their primary purpose is to protect the motorcycle's swingarm and drive components during a slide or crash, and to serve as mounting points for a paddock stand to facilitate maintenance.

Are these cotton reels universal fit?

No, R&G Racing Cotton Reels are model-specific. You must confirm compatibility with your motorcycle's make, model, and year.

How do I install the cotton reels?

They are typically screwed into pre-threaded mounting points on the motorcycle's swingarm. Ensure the threads are clean and tighten them securely.

Can I use any paddock stand with these reels?

These reels are designed to work with most aftermarket paddock stands that utilize bobbins. The size of the paddock stand's fork should match the diameter of the cotton reel.

What are they made of?

They are constructed from durable materials, typically high-density nylon or similar impact-resistant plastics, designed to withstand abrasion and impact.

How often should I check my cotton reels?

It is recommended to inspect them before every ride and especially after any incident where they may have been impacted or subjected to stress.

Troubleshooting

Cotton reels are difficult to screw in.

Ensure you are using the correct size reel for your motorcycle and that the swingarm threads are clean and free of debris. Do not force them; check for cross-threading.

Paddock stand does not fit securely on the reels.

Verify that your paddock stand is compatible with the size of the R&G Cotton Reels. Ensure the reels are fully and securely installed on the swingarm.

Reels appear loose after riding.

Immediately stop riding and re-tighten the cotton reels to the correct torque specification. Check the swingarm threads for damage. Consider using a thread-locking compound if permitted by R&G Racing guidelines.
