1. … Refer to your owners manual on how to adjust the controls and
valving. Review all the photos before starting so you have an idea of
this overall installation. 2. Before you start be sure your bars have
40mm of clearance between your crossbar and main handlebar in order for
the stabilizer to physically fit. You can bow the stock crossbar
slightly or use a higher crossbar handlebar. Renthal was nice enough to
make a …
6. Transfer the o-ring from
your dipstick to the new aluminum plug. 7. Install the new aluminum
plug and tighten with a 14mm wrench, once you’ve accomplished # 4
correctly. 8. Install the Scotts frame bracket over the aluminum plug
being careful to align it before starting, as the clearance is very
tight, it will drop right on once it’s lined up. The frame bracket
should slide all the way down over the aluminum plug and just .050″ or
so over the top of the oil filler neck. The small bite on the neck will
keep the damper from trying to unscrew the aluminum plug during use.
Grease the tower pin before installing into the hole in the tower pin.
It should remained greased so it is free to float in the tower. 9.
Install the damper with the (2) 6 x 20mm Allen screws while aligning the
tower pin into the slot in linkarm. You can raise the link arm on the
tower pin by tightening the forward handlebar bolts. Tightening the rear
bolts will lower the link arm on the tower pin. 10. Once the damper is
tight align the frame bracket so it’s in-line with front wheel and
tighten the bracket pinch bolt. 11. Turn the bars from full lock to full
lock and be sure the crown does not hit the frame bracket and that the
steering stops actually make contact before the stabilizer bottoms out.
Some XR’s have more turning radius to one side than the other. In these
cases you will need to insert a sheet metal screw in the steering stop
to prevent the stabilizer from bottoming out. See photo. 12. Now… To
check your oil it takes about 1 minute, we’re not sure how long it will
take you but here’s how you do it: remove the damper (2 Allens), remove
the frame bracket (1 pinch bolt) and unscrew the 14mm aluminum plug. We
tested this kit with an 1800 mile ride in the Baja-Peninsula and found
the XR400 used NO OIL in 1800 miles, so the importance of checking the
oil while out on a ride is normally going to be very remote. 13. Refer
