R&G crash bungs. Problem solved.

Flip · Super Spammer Joined: 28 Feb 2004 Karma :

Fitted the crash bung to the left side of the ZXR4. Put one on the right side and it laughs at you. The bung doesn't fit into the recess where the engine bolt fits and the screw won't go all the way in. After a while it begins to turn the opposite way. I think maybe the bolts/bungs should be different on each side for this model?

Also, they sent them to the wrong Hein Gericke, so I had to wait another week for HG to send them on.

Mine fitted perfectly.

You sure you got the right ones ?

It says ZXR400 on the barcode label on the packaging. Confused

Confusing. I've fitted them on a couple of GSXRs and seen them fitted on an R1, 955i, CBR400 and CBR600 ... all fitted fine.

Does the ZXR400 require any spacers on either side? Question

and lo! it is written on the holy R and G box.

"Thou shalt notice that this product may not be packed as it should be fitted to thy motorcycle!"

And the Holy R and G said:

"Thou shalt read the installation instructions provided on their holy web site!"

Actually it doesn't help does it?

and people wonder why I shun organised religion! Rolling Eyes

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

My pack with CBR4 gullarm had the wrong size bolts in, and the instuctions were wrong.

There is a different length bolt for each side on mine, that's how it is. Thumbs Up

Phoned R&G and they sent me the proper length ones, next day.

I've fitted them to three different bikes, no problems.

Mine went straight onto the R6 no problem as did Caths to her SV.
I'd give them a call if i was you,explain the problem and i'm sure they'll sort it out.

I'll try again in a bit. If I still can't do it, I'll ring 'em. Crying or Very sad

Probably wrong length bolt like in my pack. Ring them now and they'll tell you everything you need to know in a matter of seconds. Don't bother trying again as you might mess up the thread, and that sucks!!!

They were very helpful when I had issues with mine.

(mine said Cbr4 gull. on the pack and on the instructions yet they were both completely wrong!) Laughing

Put the original bolts back in as no one is answering the phone (prob close early on a Saturday).

On the left side of the bike the engine bolt is in a recess and the bung fits in with room to spare. Cool

On the right side of the bike the recess is smaller. About 24mm, the exact same size as the part of the bung that should fit in the recess. Evil or Very Mad

Both bungs and bolts are identical to each other. I'm guessing that the right side bung should have a smaller 'collar'? I seem to have 2 lefts. Confused

Anyone else here got R&G's on their ZXR4?

Arse.

Thanks guys. I'll have to get my brother to ring 'em on Monday because I'm working away. Rolling Eyes

They sorted it. Thumbs Up

Sent one bung back to be re milled. It's a cock up with the spec. Basically they are making 2 rights.

Thanks R&G. Very Happy

I'd suggest prop the bike up on an abba stand or the like as the engine could move out of postion if you take the engine to frame bolts out. I've had to do this to the storm for the same reason.
