Congratulations for choosing AS3 Performance Parts for your motorcycle! Please read these helpful guidelines and safety tips, and be sure to contact us if you have any further questions about your new performance parts.
The vehicle should be suitably parked and secured before attempting to fit any parts. Parts should only be fitted when the engine is off. Allow enough time for the engine and coolant to cool down prior to installing parts. Regular maintenance checks should be carried out to verify parts are still secured and functioning correctly after installation is complete. Unless otherwise noted, AS3 Performance radiator hoses and hose clamps are not designed for fuel, oil, or end-user modifications, and such uses may void the warranty.
Prior to installation, please ensure the following safety precautions are followed:
1. Park the vehicle and secure it in a stable manner, following all safety precautions in the vehicle’s owner’s manual.
2. Turn off the engine and disconnect the battery (as per the owner’s manual) to help prevent unexpected events.
3. Allow the motorcycle to cool entirely before removing or installing any parts.
**Serious injury can result from hot engine parts or if the vehicle or its parts move unexpectedly.**
**After stopping the engine, we advise waiting at least 8 hours for the motorcycle to completely cool before removing or installing parts.**
