1. Tiger 1050 Adventure Crashbar Fitting Instructions
1. Remove Plastic trim from below Fuel Tank
2. Remove R/H Front Engine mount bolt (16 & 17mm tools)
3. Remove R/H Rear Engine mount bolt (T55 Torx & 17mm tools)
4. Remove the belly pan and R/H Front Belly pan mount
5. Remove the 2 lower crank case bolts
6. Install the R/H Crashbar using the original upper engine mount bolts first.
Slide the upper mount bolts in place first and leave loose before lining up
the lower mount plate and installing the supplied M8 x 120 bolts and M8
washers (1 each bolt) in place of the original crankcase bolts. Add some
silicone sealant (RTV) to the flange of the crashbar and shaft of the
crankcase bolts to prevent any possibility of oil leaks. Do up the bolts
finger tight at this stage.
