1 Fitting instructions for Lynx R Fairing DR650 Thank you for purchasing the Lynx fairing. We hope the design features will extend the enjoyment of your DR. Parts List 1 x Fairing and screen with two thumb twists threaded into two plastic sliders with locknuts 2x16mmM6 machine screws 2 x plastic washers 2x M6 Flange Nuts 4x Spacer washers 1x Aluminum bottom bracket with M6 bolts and locknuts 1 x ABS Dash 1 x Wiring Harness Removing OEM parts Secure the Motorcycle in a vertical position. Remove OEM fairing. Unbolt and remove the Headlight and disconnect the headlight terminal from the back of the bulb.!! Undo the drive cable from the back of the speedo instrument and remove the speedo Remove the indicator light cluster from the ignition switch and pull the 3 bulbs out from the back of unit.

2 !! Fitting the Lynx Dashboard Remove the handle bars and then unbolt the bar risers from under top triple clamp!

! Fit the dashboard under the Bar risers using the OEM bolts and

you can either go ahead and fit the OEM speedo to the Lynx

3 ! Fit the dashboard under the Bar risers using the OEM bolts and re tighten Replace the handlebars Choice of Speedo At this stage you can either go ahead and fit the OEM speedo to the Lynx dashboard, or you may choose this opportunity to fit a digital speedo like a Vapor unit as shown.!! If you are re fitting the OEM unit, you will need to drill the same hole pattern as the OEM mount as shown

4 !! You can use the OEM rubber isolators when re fitting the speedo. Re attach the speedo drive cable. Re fit the indicator light cluster onto the pre drilled opening in the Lynx dashboard using the OEM screws and press the bulbs back into place Attaching the bottom bracket Remove the front fender. The aluminum bottom bracket is clamped between the front fender and the triple clamp using the OEM fender bolts ( see photo). To make up for the additional thickness of the bracket, fit two spacer washers ( from the kit) onto the rear fender bolt positions first, then slide in the bracket and tighten all four bolts GPS Mounting If mounting a GPS, the best location is above the speedo and the GPS will mount using the makers GPS holder bolted to the surface of the ABS dashboard. Whilst the angle of the dashboard is suited to the rider viewing the instruments from the seated position, many prefer to have the GPS on an adjustable base so that the instrument can be angled and viewed when stood on the pegs. In this instance we recommend using the mount made by SW Motech which remains sturdy both on and off road. The GPS holder can be wired into either the switched power accessory terminal, or the constant power accessory terminal ( see section on wiring harness). We do not recommend mounting a RAM arm

5 ! from the dash surface due to excessive movement in off road conditions. Explaining the Lynx R Wiring Harness for the lights Your wiring harness comes complete and once plugged in, will be controlled from you OEM lighting circuit. The HID low beam lamp receives it s power directly from the battery via the relay, but the LED High beam lamp draws it s power from the bikes OEM Hi beam source. The reason the two lamps draw their power from different sources is to avoid overloading the OEM wiring circuit when both lamps are lit on High beam and also to help make sure that you always have one lamp working in the event of a major failure of either the Lynx wiring harness, or the bike s own lighting circuit. The small diode that you can see bridging between the High and low beam wires is there to ensure that the low beam remains on when the High beam is switched so you benefit from both lamps. You will also see that there are two, separately fused power circuits designed into the harness that can be used for powering accessories such as GPS, heated grips and power sockets. One of these circuits is switched through the ignition, the other is direct power from the battery and remains live at all times. Fitting the Lynx R wiring harness Remove the seat and the side covers on the left side. Remove the bolts retaining the rear gas tank and the two bolts holding the shrouds to the radiator at the front. There is no need to disconnect the fuel supply, or remove the gas tank, but the tank will need to be lifted a little.( as shown) The wiring harness has positive and negative wires with battery terminals and these need to be run down the left side of the bike, starting by feeding the wires between the forks and triple clamps at the front. Run the wires alongside other cables, under the gas tank and back to the battery area as shown Connect the power wire to the positive post on the battery and the ground to the negative post and then make sure the fuse is tucked away neatly and won t interfere

6 with the seat when it is refitted. When you are happy that the wires are running neatly alongside the other wiring, take care to strap them along the frame with zip ties Replace the gas tank, seat and side panels. After making sure that you know where your instruments/accessories will be mounted on the dashboard, find a clear area on the back of the dash to locate the Relay. Make sure that you have enough reach to the relay and that the steering will sweep from side to side without pulling any of your wiring. Plug the Lynx harness 3 pin terminal into the OEM headlight terminal you unplugged when you removed the OEM headlamp. Fitting power sockets to the dashboard The power sockets we supply are designed to plug straight into the Lynx wiring harness. Choose an appropriate location and use a hole saw to cut the correct sized hole in the dashboard and insert the socket. It is not obvious, but the twin USB socket has a magnetic switch in the cap, so that the small LED light will go out when the cap is on. This means there is no problem with battery drain, if the USB is plugged into the constant power accessory source on the Lynx harness if you choose. When locating the sockets, remember that the sides of the dashboard also make a good placement for the sockets. Fitting the Fairing Make sure the steering sweeps cleanly from side to side without pinching or stretching any of the wiring. The only wires that need to be kept free are the two headlight terminals that you will plug in when the fairing is fitted. Attach the light terminals and then slide the bottom of the fairing onto the two captive bolts on the bottom bracket. Then loosely clamp the top of the fairing and dash together using two 16mm button head screws and flange nuts. Do not tighten yet. Now turn the ignition on and check the operation of the lights. Adjusting the lights High Beam : The LED is attached to the frame with a bolt on each side ( see photo). To adjust the lamp, you can normally push the top or bottom outer rim of the lamp and it will move a little. You will need a bit of force so DO NOT press on the lens of the lamp.

In order to access the bottom adjuster with the fairing on, turn the handlebars to the right.

7 !!! Low Beam : The HID low beam is the most critical to set correctly and it s also the easiest to adjust. The lamp is retained by 3 adjuster screws and you should not need to adjust the top two and just use the bottom one for height adjustment ( see photo). In order to access the bottom adjuster with the fairing on, turn the handlebars to the right. Make height adjustments using a Philips screwdriver ( see photo) Turn CLOCKWISE to lower the beam height, ANTI CLOCKWISE to Raise the beam height. IMPORTANT : If your height adjustment causes either lamp to touch the fairing openings it will cause an annoying vibrating noise and excessive wear. In this case, remove fairing and bring the lamp rearwards using the top and bottom adjusters ( turn adjusters Clockwise) When you are happy with the light adjustment, re-attach the fairing. Place a SS washer before fitting a nylock nut on the rubber grommet at the bottom and do not over tighten so that the grommet can work effectively to reduce vibration. A plastic washer should be fitted under the screw head on the fairing side of the top mount before securing with a flange nut on the dashboard side.

!! Final Check Make sure that all components are secure and that you have free movement from side to side with the handlebars.

8 Decals Included in the kit is a decal pack containing some different shapes and colours for you to apply if you wish. Application is the same as most decals and is best done by wetting the fairing surface first and then using a squeegy to smooth any air bubbles out.!! Final Check Make sure that all components are secure and that you have free movement from side to side with the handlebars. Adjusting the screen Operation of the adjustable screen is straightforward. It is designed to slide down completely when off road and can be adjusted to suit at highway speeds. Riders over six foot, particularly on a tall seat may find the screen in it s highest position can cause buffeting. We recommend you experiment with different heights, because a lower position can give a smoother airflow..
