FAQs
Does this mount fit a Triumph Tiger 900?
No, the KR6401 is specifically designed for 2011-2019 Triumph 800 Tiger models only.
Can I mount a Monolock case on this plate?
No, this plate is specifically designed for the Monokey system. Monolock cases use a different mounting configuration.
Is the drilling process reversible?
No, the installation requires permanent modification to the crankcase behind the saddle.
Can I exceed the 6kg weight limit?
It is not recommended to exceed the 6kg weight limit, as it may cause structural damage to the mounting points or affect the motorcycle's stability.
Does this include the top case?
No, the KR6401 is a mounting kit only; the top case must be purchased separately.
Do I need special tools for the installation?
You will need a drill with appropriate bits for the crankcase modification, as well as a standard set of metric Allen keys and wrenches.
Troubleshooting
Top case does not click into place securely
Check the mounting plate for debris or dirt and ensure the release lever is fully disengaged before pushing the case down.
Excessive rattling when riding
Ensure all mounting bolts are torqued to manufacturer specifications and verify the case is seated correctly on the plate mushroom pins.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the KR6401 involves a moderate level of technical skill, primarily due to the requirement to drill into the crankcase behind the saddle. It is highly recommended to use a template to ensure drilling marks are accurate before starting. After installation, periodically inspect the mounting bolts for vibration-induced loosening, especially after off-road riding. To maintain the plate, keep the locking mechanism free of road grit and debris by occasionally cleaning it with mild soap and water, followed by a light application of silicone spray to the latch components for smooth operation.
