My concern with when I installed the case guard is unless the UHDP chain guide is EXACTLY the correct thickness you may have incorrect clamping force on the clutch slave. That billet aluminum won't be flexing. If the chain guide is too thick you don't get proper clamping force on the slave. If the guide is too thin the aluminum will be trying to bend to clamp the chain guide in place. It all depends on a factory frame welded part for things to align. For the factory case guard that frame weld does not need to hold a tight tolerance.
Is the chain slider supposed to touch the chain? It has a lot of up and down movement, and it doesn't say anywhere if it should be torqued down in the upmost or downmost position. Thanks in advance.
You’ll have to measure the play. If it’s in tolerances (listed in the manual( you’re good. Mine does touch the slider but once I’m sitting on the bike and torque is applied, it doesn’t.
Hello Adam, thanks for this video. I’m about to install one on my LR, but cannot find the torque specs. Do you have them? Thanks a lot and greetings from Holland! 🇳🇱

Hallo, would have been the point in time to replace the slave cylinder as well - mine has gone yesterday after 700 km. No idea why they still mount this crap?

That’s a fair point and something I had not thought about. Thanks for commenting and sharing with others.

think I will install it on my bike too, thnx V!
Awesome!

Thank you!
it says for the KTM SMC R 2022 that for the "screw, clutch slave cylinder" it's 10Nm (7.4 lbs-ft)

Agreed. The slave cylinder is replaced but that’ll be a future video.
