RSET40If using in conjunction with OEM quickshifter (SP Models):o Take either of the shorter gear linkage rods (items 8 & 9) and test to establish the mostsuitable length depending on the chosen gear lever height.
o Connect the chosen gear linkage rod (item 8 or 9) or OEM link rod to the OEM quickshifter.
o Connect the LH threaded ball joint to the open end of the gear linkage rod. (you may
need to remove the LH threaded ball joint from the gear lever) and re-affix this to thegear lever in the same way it was removed as shown in Picture 5. Ensure when rotating
the gear shift rod to keep the thread even at both ends of the rod.
o With all components connected, fit the gear linkage adapter block to the splined gear
shaft as shown in picture 6. Rotate the gear linkage adjuster block (item 3) so that thelink rod is perpendicular to the splined gear shaft and tighten the fitting bolt as shown inpicture 7.
If removing OEM quick shifter:o Disconnect the ball joint from the gear lever assembly (item 3).
o Connect the most suitable gear linkage rod (items 10 or 11) or the OEM link rod foryour chosen foot peg position to the 2 ball joints and reaffix the gear lever ball joint in
the same way it was removed as shown in Picture 6, depending on your chosen shift
pattern. Ensure when rotating the gear shift rod to keep the thread even at both ends ofthe rod.
o Connect the Gear linkage adapter block to the gear selector shaft as shown in picture 6.
o With all components connected, fit the gear linkage adapter block to the splined gear
shaft as shown in picture 6. Rotate the gear linkage adapter block (item 3) so that thelink rod is perpendicular to the splined gear shaft and tighten the fitting bolt as shown inpicture 7.

Adjust the gear shift link rod by rotating so that both threads are tightened until the desired
gear lever height is achieved.
Ensure the linkage rod runs straight, the gear linkage adapter block should be spaced by aS0454 6mm spacer (item 5) to ensure the rod runs straight as shown in picture 8.
Tighten the locking nuts with added thread locking compound so that the link rod is secure.
Check operation of the gear lever and ensure all gears can be selected correctly and the gear
lever returns correctly to the neutral position.
Ensure all bolts are torqued correctly and assembled with thread locking compound.

Brake Lever Assembly RHS
Because of the complexity and inherent dangers involved in undertaking any work involving
the braking system we strongly recommend a qualified mechanic fits/or checks after thefitting of this product.

Disconnect the brake light switch from the OEM footrest by removing the spring from the OEMswitch.
Disconnect the two mounting bolts from the footrest assembly using a 6mm hex key as shownin Picture 9, this will help when disconnecting the master cylinder.
To disconnect the rear brake master cylinder from the OEM footrest hangar, remove the split
pin from the rear of the pivot arrowed in Picture 10, and remove the slide pin.
Remove the 2 mounting bolts arrowed in Picture 11 from the heel plate to remove the mastercylinder and disconnect the footrest hanger from the bike.
Loosen the adjuster nut and remove the lower nut and pivot bracket from the OEM brakecylinder assembly as shown in picture 12.

Page 11 of 25••Affix the RHS footrest assembly (item 2) to the bike using two M8x25mm bolts (item 19) &both LHS base plate spacers (item 4) as shown in Picture 14.
Attach the master cylinder using the two M6 x 25mm bolts (item 18) in a neutral position
determined by the ABS hard line. Move the brake lever to the desired height in a neutral
position and adjust the new female ball joint so the action of the master cylinder pressure shaft
is directly in line with master cylinder. Now reconnect the brake lever to the master cylinder asshown in Picture 15, ensuring the spacer is located between the lever and ball joint and thelocking nut is fully engaged.

ABS Line replacement•••••••

The fixed ABS line will need to be replaced with the flexible line that is supplied in the kit (item13) so that all foot peg positions can be used.
Remove the rider’s seat.
Remove the side panels from the fairing by removing the 3 x fairing bolts from each side of thebike
Remove the fuel tank cover panel from the front of the bike as shown in picture 16.
Remove the seat location bracket to gain access to the ABS unit as shown in picture 17.
Remove tank securing bolts from each side of the fuel tank and lift the tank and support inplace. This will provide access to the ABS unit below, as shown in Picture 18. Remove the ABSline arrowed.
When fitting the RSET40HOSE flexible brake line (item 13):o Ensure all painted surfaces are covered and protected from spills.
o Remove the lower end of the brake line from the master cylinder and drain the brakefluid into a suitable container.
o Remove the brake line from the ABS module that feeds to the rear master cylinder andreplace it with the flanged end on the braided line.
o Feed the braided line along the same route as the OEM line and fit to the master cylinder
Ensure to use new sealing washers (item 14) on new banjo connections.
o Use the ‘P’ clip (item 17) to help route the line as original and ensure the line cannot
become trapped when seat and tank are replaced.

If removing the ABS function (recommended for RACE use only):o Follow the instructions above and use the S1205 stainless blanking spacer (item 16) toreplace the banjo fitting on the ABS Unit. Ensure to use new sealing washers (itemo 14) on new banjo connections.
• Re-fit the tank, fairing and seat unit.
If brake light function is required for road use:
• In place of the original banjo bolt on the top of the rear master cylinder, use the Banjo brakepressure switch (item 12).
• we recommend cutting the original wiring to connect the brake light sensor switch wires to theoriginal wiring using the CON0004 bullet connectors (item 15).
PLEASE NOTE YOU WILL HAVE TO BLEED THE BRAKING SYSTEM.
•••

When the flexible line has been attached and correct brake function is achieved, adjust the foot peg
positions for comfort and position using the sub plate and two bolts. The same foot peg position
should be used on both sides on the bike.
Adjust the brake lever height by disconnecting the female rose joint on the brake master cylinderand using the thread to change the rod length which will adjust the lever height, reconnect thebrake rod when happy with the position.
Ensure the brake reservoir is tube is not kinked and fluid can flow freely, you can shorten this tube
if necessary.

Ensure the brake assembly is fully fitted and all bolts are secured with the correct torque andthread locking compound as shown in Picture 19.
TEST THE BRAKE FUNCTION THOROUGHLY BEFORE RIDING.

•Check all components are secure and all bolts are tight before riding, and the gears and brakelevers operate smoothly and without binding. Check bolt tightness regularly.
IMPORTANT: The above instructions are for guidance only. It is your (the installers) responsibility toensure all components are secure and in no circumstances interfere with other bike components they
are not meant to, failure to do this can be dangerous and may cause damage to the rider ormotorcycle.
