5. Betjening
The Evotech Performance Frame Crash Protection operates passively, providing protection in the event of a fall or slide. No active operation is required from the user.
It is recommended to periodically check the security of all mounting bolts, especially after the first few rides following installation, and then as part of your regular motorcycle maintenance schedule.
6. Vedligeholdelse
- Regelmæssig inspektion: Periodically inspect the bobbins and mounting brackets for any signs of wear, damage, or looseness.
- Rensning: Clean the components with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish or material.
- Fastgørelseskontrol: Ensure all bolts and fasteners remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary, but do not overtighten.
- Post-Incident Check: After any incident involving a fall or slide, thoroughly inspect the crash protection system for damage. Even if visible damage is minimal, the structural integrity may be compromised. It is recommended to replace any components that have sustained impact.
7. Fejlfinding
- Løse komponenter: If any part of the crash protection feels loose, re-check the tightness of all fasteners. Ensure they are secured according to installation guidelines.
- Interferens: If the installed crash protection interferes with any motorcycle components (e.g., fairing, controls), re-check the installation steps and ensure correct orientation of brackets and bobbins. Refer to online fitting instructions for specific model guidance.
- Manglende dele: If any components were missing from the package, contact Evotech Performance customer support immediately.
