Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
These Renthal handlebar mounts are compatible with Honda, Yamaha, and Kawasaki motorcycles manufactured between 2000 and 2024. Ensure your motorcycle model falls within this range. They are designed for 28.6mm diameter handlebars and specifically utilize the Original Equipment (OE) rubber cones for mounting. Please verify your motorcycle's OE mounting system before installation.
Setup Instructions:
- Ensure you have the correct 28.6mm handlebars and compatible OE rubber cones.
- Position the lower clamps onto the triple tree, ensuring correct orientation.
- Place the handlebars into the lower clamps. If your handlebars have markings, align them centrally.
- Place the upper clamps over the handlebars and align them with the lower clamps.
- Install the provided high-strength steel bolts through the upper and lower clamps. *Note: It is recommended to use a torque wrench for tightening.*
- Tighten the bolts in a crossing pattern (e.g., upper left, lower right, upper right, lower left) to ensure even pressure.
- Refer to your motorcycle's service manual or Renthal's specific torque specifications for the handlebar clamps to avoid overtightening or undertightening.
Care:
Clean the handlebar mounts regularly with a mild soap and water solution. A soft cloth can be used for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the anodized finish. Periodically check the tightness of the bolts to ensure they remain secure. Inspect the mounts for any signs of damage or wear.
