2. Install the shorter slider with the M10x 100mm bolt and supplied washer.
3. Tighten the engine mount bolt to the factory specifications - DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

A bit of Locktite on the bolt threads is recommended.



FAIRING MODIFICATIONS
If you have the race kit, install the slider bolts without the slider.  Engage only a few threads and re-install the fairing to mark the inside of the fairing for the pilot hole.  We sometimes coat the head of the socket screw with a non permanent marker or place some putty on the inside of the fairing so the the screw will make a mark or an indentation. Once the center of the bolt location on the fairing is determined, it is suggested that you drill a small pilot hole to locate the engine mount. Once you have found the center, use a hole saw and cut a hole approximately 38mm in diameter. Edges can be filed for perfect fit, or inaccuracies in drilling. We have found that placing masking tape on the area helps protect from scratches, cracks, etc.

Thank-you for purchasing Motovation products.  Please ride safe and always wear protective clothing.
