FAQs
Are these hand guards suitable for street motorcycles?
The Acerbis X-Factory Hand Guards are specifically designed for off-road motorcycles. While they may fit some street bike handlebars, their wrap-around design and robustness are optimized for off-road conditions.
What material are the internal bars made of?
The internal bars are made of steel, providing a strong core for impact resistance and torsional stability.
Do I need to remove my grips and levers to install them?
Yes, installation typically requires removing the clutch lever and potentially the throttle assembly, and may involve removing grips to properly mount the hand guards around the controls.
What is included in the fitting kit?
The fitting kit usually includes the steel expanders, anticorodal armbands, and all necessary bolts and fasteners for installation.
How do I clean the red and black plastic covers?
Use a soft cloth dampened with water and mild soap. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Can I replace just the plastic cover if it gets damaged?
Replacement plastic covers may be available separately. Contact Acerbis or your local dealer for part availability.
Troubleshooting
Hand guards feel loose after installation.
Ensure the steel expander is fully inserted and tightened within the handlebar. Re-check the tightness of the anticorodal armbands and all mounting bolts.
Controls (throttle, clutch lever) feel stiff or obstructed.
Loosen the mounting hardware slightly and readjust the position of the hand guard. Ensure it is not pressing against any cables or levers. Re-tighten securely once free movement is confirmed.
Difficulty fitting the expander into the handlebar.
Verify that the handlebar end is not damaged or obstructed. Ensure you are using the correct expander size if multiple are provided (though this model typically uses a standard size). Some minor wiggling or rotation may be needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure your handlebars are clear of obstructions.
- Position the hand guard around the lever and grip area.
- Insert the steel expander into the handlebar's end.
- Attach the anticorodal armbands securely to the handlebars.
- Tighten all fasteners, ensuring the guard is firmly in place and does not interfere with controls.
Compatibility:
These hand guards are designed for off-road motorcycles. They are compatible with most standard handlebar sizes used on dirt bikes and enduro machines. Always check the dimensions against your specific motorcycle model if unsure.
Care:
Clean the hand guards regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the plastic. Periodically check the tightness of all mounting hardware.
