Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install your new Acerbis plastics, you will need a standard set of T-handle wrenches or sockets compatible with your bike's specific hardware. Start by removing the old panels carefully to avoid stripping any mounting points. When installing the new pieces, ensure all bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's torque specifications to prevent cracking the plastic around the mounting holes. For maintenance, clean the plastics using a mild detergent and a soft sponge. Avoid using abrasive chemicals or high-pressure washers directly on the edges of the plastic, as this can degrade the finish over time. Periodically check all mounting bolts after the first few rides, as new plastic may settle slightly against the frame.
