Mounting Considerations
Failure to mount the device without the appropriate vertical or horizontal clearance could cause degraded performance or could interfere with motorcycle operations, causing an accident possibly resulting in property damage, serious personal injury, or death.
Failure to ensure sufficient cable slack could result in poor product performance, property damage, or serious personal injury.
When selecting a location to mount the device, observe these considerations before permanently mounting it.
-
Ensure adequate clearance around the device through full suspension travel of the rear wheel.
-
Ensure the device does not block any numbers or letters on the license plate when using the license plate mount.
-
You must mount the device in a location where it is not exposed to extreme temperatures, such as the exhaust.
-
Installing the device higher on the back of the motorcycle provides a better radar view.
-
The included surface mount bracket can be fastened to the back of the motorcycle using self-tapping, panhead screws or adhesive.
-
When using the license plate mount, Garmin® recommends using metal fasteners to attach the license plate to your motorcycle.
-
Ensure the device faces backward and is level and parallel to the road.
-
Ensure the device has 180 degrees of horizontal clearance.
-
Ensure the device has 135 degrees of vertical clearance.
-
The device must be installed in a manner that ensures sufficient cable slack for the entire turning range of the motorcycle’s handlebars and during full range of suspension travel.
