Installation Notes

Installing the Acerbis Teketmagnet Swing Arm Guard is straightforward. You do not need any special tools.

Estimated Time: 2-5 minutes Difficulty: Very Easy Steps:

• Clean the Swingarm: Before installing, make sure your swingarm is clean and dry. Remove any dirt, mud, or grease. This ensures the magnets have a solid, flat surface for proper adhesion. It also prevents dirt from getting trapped between the guard and the swingarm.
• Position the Guard: Align the guard with the shape of your swingarm. Start from the front or rear, depending on the design. The guard is molded to fit specific models. It will naturally align correctly.
• Engage Magnets: Once aligned, gently press the guard onto the swingarm. You will feel the magnets snap into place. Ensure a snug fit across the entire protected area.
• Secure with Bands: Wrap the included elastic bands around the swingarm and the guard. Thread them through the designated slots on the guard. Secure them firmly. These bands provide redundancy and prevent the guard from shifting during heavy impacts or vibrations.
• Double-Check Fitment: Give the guard a firm tug in various directions. Ensure it's stable and does not wobble. Make sure it clears all moving parts, like the chain or suspension linkage, throughout the swingarm's travel.

Common Mistakes to Avoid:

• Not Cleaning First: Trapped dirt can scratch your swingarm over time. It can also prevent the magnets from seating properly.
• Incorrect Alignment: Forcing the guard into position can stress the plastic. Take a moment to align it correctly before pressing down.
• Forgetting the Bands: The magnets are strong, but the bands are crucial. They provide backup security, especially for aggressive riding. Always use them.
