Revision: 1.3 - 01/23/2013
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Protect the rear portion of the front fender with a towel or other thick, soft cloth.
2. Remove the OEM engine guards if they have been installed on the motorcycle. Your new Barons engine
guard will fasten to the frame at the same points as the OEM guard and will use the same hardware.
Or, if OEM engine guards are not present, Perform the following two steps:
a. Remove the large button-head 6mm Allen bolts located on the frame just forward of the floorboard mounting
brackets.
b. Remove the acorn nuts on both the right and left upper frame bolts located approximately 6 inches above the
large Allen head bolts.
CAUTION! Do not remove these bolts completely. Instead, slide them inward until the ends of the bolts are
flush with the hole surface. If the motorcycle is not equipped with these bolts, please see your local Yamaha
dealer and ask for (2) of part number 92017-10030-00.
3. With the lower brackets facing the bike's rear, carefully slide the engine guard into the space between the
front fender and the radiator.
4. Lift the guard a few inches until the lower mounting brackets align with the bolt holes just forward of the
driver floorboard mounting brackets.
5. Insert a large 6mm button head Allen bolt into the hole on each side of the frame and finger tighten. If the
brackets are too wide, they will squeeze together when the Allen bolts are tightened.
6. Rotate the engine guard until the upper guard mounting brackets are in a vertical position on each side, and
just to the rear of the radiator. Due to production line tolerances in both the motorcycle and the engine guard,
the mounting brackets may be too wide or too narrow for the frame. If this is the case
a. Remove the guard from the motorcycle.
b. Place the guard on a flat, firm surface. Place a towel or similar protection between the guard and this
surface.
c. Use a hard rubber mallet, or place a block of wood over each bracket, and tap with a hammer until the
brackets are far enough apart to install the guard.
7. Push the upper frame bolts through the holes on the lower ends of the brackets, and finger tighten an acorn
nut on each bolt.
Note: Due to metal spring-back after the manufacturing process is complete, the upper bracket mounting holes
may not line up correctly with the upper frame bolts. To remedy this, use a ratchet-type nylon motorcycle
tie-down wrapped around the guard's upper and lower bars to help pull the upper bar down into proper
