FITTING INSTRUCTIONSPLEASE BE AWARE THAT EACH ASSEMBLY PROVIDED IS ONLY LOOSELYASSEMBLED. FULL FITTING WILL REQUIRE TIGHTENING OF EACH BOLT TO
RECOMMENDED TORQUE WITH THE ADDITION OF A THREAD LOCKINGCOMPOUND – SUCH AS R&G THREAD LOCK.

Gear Shift Side••••••••••

10•Page••Remove the two bolts that secure the OEM footrest in place on the frame, as shown in pictures
1 & 2.
Fit the left side rearset assembly into place on the bike, using the two M8 x 20mm long bolts,
as shown in picture 3. (If not already fitted, fit the gear shift lever assembly and footpeg to thebacking plate first).
Loosen the locking nut on the gear linkage rod and then remove the mounting bolt for theOEM gear lever, as shown in picture 4. ***On the ’03-’06 models, the belly pan may need tobe removed to access this bolt. There is also a breather hose attached to the water pumphousing which may need to be re-positioned.***.
With the gear lever off, it can now be un-wound off the linkage rod and removed, as shown inpicture 5
Remove the side stand mounting bolt (as arrowed in picture 5) and replace with the Rocker
Arm Mounting Boss (item 8 – E0057). Screw the threaded end in and tighten using a 20mmsocket, as shown in picture 6.
Now take the Rocker Arm Assembly (item 7) and ensure it is assembled in the correct
configuration for the shifting pattern required, as shown in pictures 7 & 8 and explained
below.
For normal “road” shift pattern (1 down – 5 up), the M6 left hand thread needs to be fitted tothe top mounting hole, using the M6 x 20mm long button head bolt and mounted from thefront, as shown in picture 8. ***On the ’07-’08 ’09-’12 / ’13- models the additional spacer(item 6 – S0691 – 7mm long) may be required to sit between the rose joint and rocker arm toclear the frame and maintain linkage rod alignment.(On later models, this may need to beplaced on the gear shift lever end instead).***.
For “race” shift pattern (1 up – 5 down), the M6 left hand thread needs to be fitted to thebottom mounting hole, using the M6 x 20mm long button head bolt and mounted from thefront. ***On the ’07-’08 ’09-’12 / ’13- models the additional spacer (item 6 – S0691 – 7mmlong) may be required to sit between the rose joint and rocker arm to clear the frame andmaintain linkage rod alignment.***.
Ensure the left threaded hole (as seen in picture 7) is fitted with the smallest 2.5mm spacer,M6 right hand thread rose joint and M6 x20mm long button head bolt, and is inserted fromthe rear, as shown in picture 8. This should ensure the OEM linkage rod remains verticalwhen on the bike.
Offer this rocker arm assembly up to the bike and screw the right hand threaded rose joint
onto the OEM linkage rod, ensuring the locking nut is on the exposed end of the thread first,
as shown in picture 9.
Now fit the M8 x 40mm long button head bolt through the rocker arm assembly and into thealready fitted mounting boss, as shown in picture 10, before tightening. Ensure the rocker
arm assembly freely rotates on the bearing arrangement.
On certain models, the jubilee clip on the water hose may need to be loosened and rotatedslightly to allow clearance for the rocker arm movement.
The linkage rod can now be fitted to connect the rocker arm to the gear shift lever. If using
normal “road” shift and the top mount on the rocker arm, use the shorter linkage rod supplied

RSET22BK••(item 4 – 195mm long). If using “race” shift and the bottom mount on the rocker arm, use thelonger linkage rod supplied (item 5 – 225mm long). Offer the linkage rod between the tworose joints (ensuring the left hand threaded end matches with the correct rose joint), insert thetwo threaded ends and tighten until the gear shift lever is in a comfortable position, as shownin picture 11. In extreme cases (fully forward or fully rearward), the alternative linkage rod
may be required to achieve maximum adjustability.
Check the correct operation of the gear shifter and once satisfied with the position, tighten thethree locking nuts on the two linkage rods, ensuring there is at least 10mm of thread engaged,
as shown in picture 12 & 13.
Ensure all bolts are tightened and that the gear shift lever operates correctly and does notinterfere with any other part of the bike.

Remove the split-pin on the rear of the brake master cylinder rose joint bolt, as shown inpicture 15.
Remove the nut and bolt from the rose joint to release it from the brake lever, as shown inpicture 16.
Remove the two bolts that secure the brake master cylinder in place on the footrest bracket, asshown in picture 17. Put the heel plate to one side, as this will be required when re-fitting.
Remove the two bolts as arrowed in picture 18. With these bolts removed, the plastic exhaust
cover can be removed from the bike by gently pulling downwards, releasing the upper mountfrom the rubber grommet, as shown in picture 19.
Remove the two bolts that secure the footrest hanger in place, as shown in picture 20.
Remove the hose clips and spring/brake lever switch from the rear of the footrest hanger,
allowing it to be free and removed from the bike, as shown in picture 21 and 22.
On the ’13- model, there is an additional bracket that sits behind the footrest hanger bolts, asshown in picture 23. Un- mount this from the ABS brake line by removing the bolt, as shownin picture 24.
The R&G rearsets can now be fitted to the bike.
Fix the small mounting bracket that is bolted to the back of the right rearset assembly to theexhaust shield using the M5 countersunk bolt, as shown in picture 25.
Take the right side rearset mounting plate and fit the bent mounting bracket that secures theplastic cover in place, as shown in picture 26. If fitting to ’13 model onwards, this piece andthe plastic cover cannot be re-fitted to the bike, due to the brake line positioning.
If fitting to the ’13 model onwards, take the small aluminium bracket, as shown in picture 27,and attach it to the ABS brake line block, as shown in picture 28. This can then be attached to
the OEM bracket using the original bolt (as shown in picture 23) and simply spaces the ABS
brake block out to allow the hose to reach through the rearsets range of adjustability. This is
not required on any of the earlier model variants.
Take the right side mounting plate assembly and offer it up to the bike using the two M6 x
40mm long button head bolts and correct spacers, as seen in the right hand / brake side
pictures and shown in pictures 29 & 30. If fitting to the ’13 model onwards (optional also on’03-’06 models), use the smaller 13mm spacers (item 14) and bolt the previously installed
OEM bracket in place along with this assembly. If fitting to the ’03-’06 / ’07-’08 / ’09-’12
model bikes, use the longer, 20mm spacer (item 19).
Fit the M5 countersunk bolt through the rearset mounting plate and tighten into the small
bracket that secures the exhaust guard in place, before tightening, as shown in picture 31.

Take the small stepped spacer (item 11 – 24mm long) and fit the smaller diameter end into therose joint, as shown in picture 33.
Locate the M6 x 30mm long button head bolt (item 12) through the rose joint/spacer andtighten into the rearward mounting hole of the brake lever from the rear, as shown in picture
34. If not already fitted, fit the brake lever assembly and footpeg to the backing plate first.
Fit the right side rearset assembly into place on the bike, using the two M8 x 20mm long bolts,
as shown in picture 35.
The brake master cylinder can now be fitted into place on the brake mount, using the two M6x 16mm long button head bolts, ensuring to re-fit the OEM heel plate in between the mastercylinder and mounting bracket, as shown in picture 36.
On certain models, the slack in the rear brake hose may need to be gently pulled along theswingarm depending on the chosen position of the adjustable footpeg bracket.
Adjust the locking nut on the brake master cylinder rose joint to achieve a comfortable
position for the brake lever and tighten the nut securely.
Ensure all bolts are tightened and that the rear brake lever operates correctly.

Brake Light Banjo Switch•••Remove the bolt holding the banjo fitting to the end of the master cylinder and replace the boltwith the brake light sensor switch using the aluminium sealing washers. PLEASE NOTE
YOU WILL HAVE TO BLEED THE BRAKING SYSTEM.
We recommend cutting the original wiring and using bullet connectors to connect the brakelight sensor switch wires to the original wiring.
Please check operation of brakes and brake light before riding.
