The screw pack: twelve screws, four jobs

Steering damper screws for the RS 3.0

Rear fender screws for the RS 3.0

Step 1: Fit the handlebar

  1. Position the wires properly first, and push them all to the front.
  2. Put on the clamp. Set the TFT display to roughly the angle you want.
  3. Start the two screws at the front, then the two at the bottom. Get them in a bit first, using the tool that comes in the box.
  4. Align the handlebar where you like it. Lock the front two screws first, tighten them a little, then clamp down the back.
  5. Always go back to the front and tighten again. Make sure everything is tight.
  6. Move the TFT to the angle you like, then tighten it.

If you need to readjust anything on the handlebar later, just use the tool kit.
