The two screws (4) in the equipment kit under the seat, together with the side pannier pawls, are to be used to restore the front retaining unit of the number plate holder (5) in case the side pannier support is removed.
In this case, tighten screws (4) to a torque of 20 Nm ± 10%.
Hand guard assembly
Note
The instructions below show how to assemble the hand guard; follow the same procedure for the left one.
Fitted hand guards
In case hand guards (6) are already fitted on the bike, it is necessary to replace the two grey service screws with the two black screws (7), with pre-applied threadlocker, supplied with kit (1).
Tighten screws (7) to a torque of 5 Nm ± 10%.
Hand guards not fitted
If hand guard (6) is not fitted on the vehicle yet, proceed as follows.
Remove the hand guard unit (3) from the protection package.
Upon package removal make sure that counter-weight (8) is correctly positioned on hand guard (6).
Position hand guard (6) on the handlebar by engaging its reference tab (9) on the handlebar groove (10).
Take the black screw (7) with pre-applied threadlocker from the supplied kit (1), start and tighten it to 5 Nm ± 10%.
Tighten the counter-weight screw (11) in the following sequence:
keep hand guard (6) end turned down;
keep the counter-weight screw (11) pressed towards the handlebar internal side;
Tighten counter-weight screw (11) to a torque of 10 Nm ± 10%.
Insert wiring (12) of hand guard unit (6) in cable rings (13).
Rear-view mirror assembly
Fix the rear-view mirrors by tightening the retaining nuts (14) to 40 Nm ± 10%.
Battery start-up and fitting on the vehicle
Warning
Before carrying out any operations on the battery, keep in mind the safety standards. When under charge, batteries produce explosive gases. Keep batteries away from heat sources, sparks or open flames.
After electrolyte top-up let the battery rest for at least thirty minutes.
Always charge the battery correctly before the first operation and after long storage periods – such as before selling the vehicle.
Leaving the battery discharged for more than one month could damage it. Use only constant-voltage battery chargers.
Check that battery terminals are properly connected to the battery charger. To charge the battery, follow the instructions found on the battery itself; for further information, see the table above.

Remove the seat (Removing the seat).
Release the retaining metallic ring (15) and the retaining element (16).
Lift the battery support unit without disconnecting its electric components and place the battery in its seat. We recommend lubricating the battery lateral sides with some soapy water to better slide it on rubber.
Reposition the battery support unit in its seat.
Connect the battery to the motorcycle's terminals.
Strictly follow the routing of cables (17), (18) and (19) as shown in the figure.
Connect the positive red cable (17) of the vehicle and the positive cable of the ABS system (18) to the battery positive terminal and the negative black cable (19) to the battery negative terminal. Start the two screws (20) on the terminals starting with the positive cables, then tighten the screws.
Apply specified grease onto the battery terminals to prevent oxidation.
Engage the retaining element (16) end side and the retaining metallic ring (15) in this sequence.
Refit the seat (Refitting the seat).
Fitting the plexiglas
Take the components from the kit supplied with the bike.
Use soapy water to install the four rubber blocks (21) on the windscreen (22) holes.
Place windscreen (23) on the vehicle support, then start and tighten the four screws (23) to a torque of 3 Nm ± 10%.
Fitting the lock pawls on the side panniers
Note
The following instructions explain how to fit the lock in the left pannier. Perform the same procedure for the right pannier
Take the lock pawls (24) from the kit under the bike's seat.

Fix cam (27) to lock pawl (24) with the two self-tapping screws (26).
The holes on the lock pawls are NOT threaded, therefore use self-tapping screws (26).
Be careful during the fixing procedure.
Tighten self-tapping screws (26) to a torque of 0.6 Nm ± 10%.
Pre-apply specified grease on the pawl unit.
Insert the lock pawl unit in the hole of upper pannier support (27).
Warning
Check the correct pawl orientation as shown in the figure below: the protruding part must be facing up.
Insert retaining clip (28) with the pawl in the upper pannier support (27).
Open the left side pannier (31) and the internal zip of the support side shell.
Remove the four service screws and nuts from the pannier near the retaining unit of the upper pannier support.
Insert the four retaining screws (29) in the relevant holes, from the pannier inside to the outside.
Place the upper pannier support (27) on retaining screws (29) and start nuts (30).
Tighten screws (29) to a torque of 2.2 Nm ± 10%.
Restore the internal zip closure of the support side shell.
Check for the lock correct operation on the bike.
Under the rain, protect pannier content by means of the waterproof covers (32) found inside.
To guarantee waterproofing, fold cover edge THREE times, then close hook (33) on side opposite to fold.
Store bag (32) in side pannier ALWAYS with the folded side facing up.
