Hi Guys I have attempted, unsuccessfully, to fit a lever guard to my blade for an upcoming track day. By the looks of it I need to remove the throttle assembly to change the inserts for the lever guard. I am not too confident in doing this. Can anyone point me in the direction of a lever guard that will bolt straight onto my bar without any internal modification. 2018 model. Thanks.
Are you struggling to get the inner bar weight out from the handlebar? It can be a bit of a sod but it should come out. See this thread and post #31 for how I got mine out. https://www.1000rr.co.uk/threads/brake-lever-guards-for-trackdays.40479/page-2
This is what I mean by get it moving/lever it out with screwdrivers. Once it's wiggling use the M6 bolt with something heavy that will slide over it as a slide hammer.
Thanks very much for the help, i will get back on it tomorrow morning. I’ll let you know how it goes.
I left the insert in my 2017. Added a little silicone sealant and used an R&G guard. One track done, I swap back to the std bar end
Yes Charlie, thanks for your help. I didn’t get round to it until yesterday. Molegrips, light tap with a hammer did the job. I didn’t use a separate screw and ended up bending the original bar end screw. Not the end of the world, I will buy a new one. Bloody pain though. Good to go for the track day at Donnington on Wednesday.
