***MADE IN THE U.S.A***
Read and understand instructions completely before beginning. Wear proper safety equipment, & observe standard shop safety. Tighten all hardware to factory torque specs. If you are not completely comfortable with the installation, have your JackBeQuick installed by competent professional mechanic. Install the Rear Bracket before installing the front bracket.
Tools required for installation of JackBeQuick front lifting bracket: 3/8" drive 16mm & 17mm deep sockets, breaker bar, ratchet, standard 14mm socket, extensions, T-30 (possibly a T-40) Torx bit, 4mm Allen wrench or socket, motorcycle/ATV lift, 10mm wrench, medium to large flat blade screwdriver. You may also need a light to medium duty hydraulic automotive floor jack and a 5" length of 2x4.
IMPORTANT! - Install rear JackBeQuick bracket FIRST!
1: Support rear of motorcycle with M/C jack on the rear JackBeQuick bracket so that the M/C stands straight up with the rear tire off the floor. Leave the M/C side stand down.
2: Using the Torx bit and ratchet, remove the radiator shroud. Set aside for reinstallation. Ensure that lower radiator hose clamp is rotated so that it is accessible from below. If it faces to the right, you will be unable to access it later with JBQ in place.
NOTE: If the long bolt that passes through the lower front of the engine & lower M/C frame is installed from the left side (nut on right as if sitting on bike), steps 3 & 4 will not be necessary.
3: Note the orientation of the brake pedal return spring. It will have to be replaced exactly as positioned from factory. Using the Torx bit, (some buyers have reported a T-40; others a T-30) loosen the pivot bolt that secures the pedal. Slide the brake pedal off its shaft. DO NOT DISCONNECT HYDRAULIC BRAKE LINE!
4: Remove the two bolts that hold the right foot peg.
5: With 16mm socket & breaker bar on the bolt head and the 17mm socket and ratchet on the nut, remove the nut to loosen the long through bolt. NOTE: if, with the nut removed, the bolt cannot be moved without the use of tools, it will be necessary to take the load off the bolt by supporting the motor. If bolt moves freely with your fingers, you may skip step 6.
6: With hydraulic floor jack, support the motor where the long bolt passes through the motor and front of M/C frame. It will be necessary to use a short length of 2X4 (approximately 5") or similar spacer placed in front of the exhaust crossover to lift the motor by the case, NOT the exhaust pipes. Lift only enough to remove the weight of the motor from the through bolt so that the bolt turns freely without the use of tools. Most likely, this will not be necessary.
7: Slide the through bolt out completely. If it was installed from the right (likely) you'll need to pull back on the brake assembly to facilitate removal of the through bolt.
8: Insert the round parts of the JBQ brackets into the tube portion of the M/C frame that the through bolt was just removed from, and reinsert the through bolt. You may consider reinserting the bolt from the left side so that if removal of JBQ becomes necessary, you will not have to loosen brake assembly or foot peg again. Install the nut on through bolt, and turn it in. DO NOT tighten yet. Note: If the curved JBQ parts do not move freely past the exhaust pipes, it may be necessary to loosen the exhaust pipe(s) at the cylinder, front crossover pipe and muffler connection. It is not necessary to remove them. Do not retighten exhaust bolts yet.
9: With the M6 X 25MM countersunk screws and nuts provided, attach flat cross piece to connect the two curved pieces of JBQ. Ensure all pieces align straight and horizontal flat piece is parallel to the floor. Ensure there is clearance between JBQ and all other parts, so there is no binding or chafing of parts. Tighten using 4 MM hex wrench/socket and 10mm wrench.
10: With 16mm socket & breaker bar on the bolt head and the 17mm socket and ratchet on the nut, tighten the through bolt to factory torque specifications. If you've loosened the exhaust pipe(s), reposition it/them to provide adequate and even spacing between it/them and JBQ; then retighten the bolts.
11: Slide the brake pedal back on its shaft and insert the Torx bolt. Ensure the pedal return spring is in place and the tang on the spring is inserted into the hole on the pedal flange. This can be done by tightening the spring in a forwardly direction with a flat blade screwdriver or similar device. When the spring is in place, push the pedal completely inboard and tighten the bolt to factory specifications.
12: Reinstall the foot peg / floorboard and tighten the bolts to factory specifications.
13: Reinstall the radiator shroud inboard and tighten the bolt to factory specifications.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIFT THE FRONT OF THE MOTORCYCLE WITHOUT THE REAR LIFTED TO A VERTICAL POSITION, USING A SUITABLE MOTORCYCLE JACK ON THE REAR JACK-BE-QUICK BRACKET AND THE REAR TIRE OFF THE FLOOR. ATTEMPTING TO LIFT THE FRONT WITH THE REAR TIRE ON THE FLOOR WILL RESULT IN AN UNSTABLE SITUATION AND SERIOUS DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH COULD RESULT
