Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This mounting kit is specifically designed for handlebars with a 28.6mm diameter (fat bars). Ensure your existing handlebars are of this size before attempting installation. The kit is intended as an exact replacement for OEM parts.
Setup (Installation):
- Ensure the motorcycle is on a stable surface, preferably a paddock stand.
- Carefully remove the original handlebar mounting hardware.
- Position the new Apico clamps onto the 28.6mm fat bars.
- Install the included mounting hardware, tightening bolts evenly in a star pattern to ensure uniform pressure. Refer to your motorcycle's service manual for specific torque specifications if available.
- Double-check all fasteners for secure tightness.
Care:
To maintain the appearance and longevity of the aluminum clamps:
- Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish and engraved logo.
- Periodically check all mounting bolts for tightness, especially after aggressive riding.
