Warnings

  • If you received instructions with your kit please refer to them as well as this tutorial. They may be more specific about the item you are fitting, while probably being less specific about the bike. By using both sources of information you should be able to solve any problems you encounter.
  • Do not be tempted to rush ahead and do something you're not sure about. If you encounter any problems please re-read the instructions carefully and make sure you haven't missed anything. It is better to take twice as long and get it right, than to rush it and end up breaking something.
  • The engine and surrounding areas can get very warm when the engine is running, and they will remain hot for some time after the engine is stopped. The exhaust in particular will get very hot, very quickly. Be careful not to burn yourself when working on your bike, or better yet, wait until the engine has cooled before starting any work.
  • When working near your chain be very careful not to get your fingers caught between the chain and sprocket. There have been cases where people have lost a finger by getting it trapped while the wheel was turning.
  • Follow these instructions at your own risk. While every effort has been made to ensure that this tutorial is safe and accurate, I can accept no responsibility for any damage you do to either yourself or your bike while following the instructions provided. If you are not sure about something, check the instructions again, and if you are still not sure then ask someone more experienced to help.
