technician. K-Tech Suspension Ltd will not be liable for any damag-
es caused in any way to/ by the product and any injuries sustained

liable if the correct tools are not used throughout the process of
fitting and adjustment of a K-Tech suspension Ltd product. Please
refer to the manufacturer’s workshop manual before attempting this
procedure. This procedure will require two people, you will need to
remove all relevant bodywork and any other parts that may restrict
you from carrying out this task.
Place and secure the motorcycle on an appropriate stand so that the wheel is
approximately 5cm off the ground. Loosen top and bottom mounting bolts us-
ing the correct spanners. With one person holding the rear wheel in a station-
ary position the second person can remove the top bolt, it may be necessary
to slightly move the rear wheel up and down whilst
removing the top bolt. Keeping the rear wheel in a stationary
position the second person can now remove the bottom bolt, it will be
necessary to hold the shock whilst doing this. Remove the shock from the
bike keeping the rear wheel stationary while doing so.
You are now ready to fit the K-Tech Razor shock.

Place the shock into the bike fitting the bottom mounting bolt first, it may
be necessary for the second person to slowly move the rear wheel up or
down for you to insert the bolt through any linkages.
Now fit the top mounting bolt and torque both top and bottom bolts to the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
Remove left Pillion Foot Rest Bracket and fit the reservoir bracket to left hand
side of the motorcycle using the original fixing points. Re-attach the left pillion
foot rest bracket to the bike using the manufacturer’s
recommended torque setting.
Take a slow test drive to make sure that everything is correct.
