Troubleshooting
Pad does not fit securely
Ensure the Velcro strap is fully tightened and aligned correctly. Check if the handlebar crossbar dimensions are within the typical range for this product. If the crossbar is unusually thick or thin, it may not provide a secure fit.
Velcro closure seems weak
Clean the Velcro surfaces to remove any dirt or debris that might be hindering adhesion. If the Velcro is worn out, consider replacement options.
Graphics fading prematurely
While graphics are wash-proof, excessive exposure to direct sunlight for prolonged periods or harsh cleaning agents can still affect them. Store the bike out of direct sun when not in use and use recommended cleaning methods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: To install the Acerbis X-Bar Pad, locate the Velcro closure on the pad. Position the pad around your motorcycle's handlebar crossbar, ensuring it is centered where you want it. Secure the Velcro strap firmly.
Compatibility: This pad is generally designed to fit most standard motorcycle handlebar crossbars. However, it is always recommended to measure your specific handlebar diameter and length before purchase to ensure a proper fit.
Care: Clean the pad using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the TPR cover or graphics. Ensure the pad is completely dry before reattaching it to the handlebars. The graphics are wash-proof, meaning they will not fade or peel off with regular cleaning.
