The Rizoma Fox License Plate Kit (PTS718) is designed for specific motorcycle models. Before starting, ensure the motorcycle is stable and the engine/exhaust are at ambient temperature. Important: This kit is not compatible with the use of side bags. Professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure safety and compliance with road regulations.
Safety and Warnings
- Electrical Safety: Disconnect the battery before installing the license plate light, rear light, or turn signals to prevent electrical shock or fire. Ensure all connectors are properly isolated and polarity is respected.
- Installation: Do not modify or tamper with the product. If parts are missing, damaged, or worn, contact an authorized Rizoma dealer.
- Compatibility: Rizoma products may not be compatible with all motorcycles or previously installed aftermarket accessories.
- Road Compliance: Ensure the license plate holder is installed according to the provided instructions to comply with European norms.
Installation Steps
Rear Light Assembly
Begin by attaching the rear light to the support structure using the provided M3x08 screws and grower washers.
License Plate Support
Assemble the license plate support. Ensure the positioning pin is inserted correctly; this pin must always remain in place to ensure the license plate follows European norms. Apply grease to the M6 screws during assembly.
Indicators Installation
Install the turn signal brackets. The kit includes brackets for both Rizoma turn signals and original turn signals. Ensure the mounting is valid for both sides of the motorcycle.
Wiring and Electrical Connections
Route the wirings carefully through the support, ensuring they are not pinched. Connect the rear light wiring to the original connector, matching the black, yellow, and red wires. For turn signals, use the included Rizoma wiring (EE142-01) or consult the specific manual for your indicators to choose the correct connection schema.
Final Adjustments
Adjust the reflector position. It must be perpendicular to the ground axis and positioned as close as possible to the lower part of the license plate to avoid contact with the rear wheel during suspension travel.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Regularly inspect all fasteners and components, especially after long trips or periods of inactivity. To clean the license plate holder, use only neutral detergent and cold water. Do not use aggressive products, degreasers, or abrasive sponges, as these can damage or scratch the finish.
