Fitting R&G Crash Bungs
Has anyone done this themselves or got a garage to do it.
My K4 is fully faired, the manual says something about removing the fairings ( obviously ) and then undoing an engine bolt and knocking it our with the new one???? Just wondered if anyone has done it themselves and how easy it was? Cheers in advance |

Re: Fitting R&G Crash Bungs
Yep, did it myself, on a half faired tho.
Feels wrong taking out an engine mounting bolt, but I promise you the engine won't fall out. Its an easy job, just go for it. Oh just one thing, when I removed the long engine bolt (the one that the long bolt in the R & G pack replaces), it took a bit of effort as it was a little corroded, and 'stuck'. Apart from that, it went ok. HTH, Billy. |

Re: Fitting R&G Crash Bungs
Easiest way is to get motosliders instead (also better)
About £50 delivered iirc

Re: Fitting R&G Crash Bungs
It is pretty easy. Basically take out old bolts, put in new bolts. IIRC the front left bolt had something fiddly about it, but I don't remember what exactly.

Re: Fitting R&G Crash Bungs
IIRC its a bit deep into the bung mount, you really need a deep socket but can make do with a normal one.
