The MUE2-D01 rearset is a high-quality, adjustable footpeg system designed for motorcycles, offering enhanced ergonomics and performance for riders. Manufactured by Gilles, this rearset is engineered for precision and durability, allowing riders to customize their foot position for optimal comfort and control during various riding conditions, including standard and reverse shifting configurations.

Function Description:

The primary function of the MUE2-D01 rearset is to replace the motorcycle's original footpeg system, providing a more robust, adjustable, and performance-oriented alternative. It allows for significant customization of the footpeg position, both in length and height, to suit individual rider preferences and body dimensions. This adjustability is crucial for riders seeking to optimize their riding posture, improve ground clearance, or adapt the motorcycle for track use. The system supports both standard shifting and reverse shifting patterns, offering versatility for different riding styles and preferences. The rearset also integrates components for the brake system, including an adapter for the master cylinder, ensuring seamless functionality with the motorcycle's existing braking system.

Important Technical Specifications:

The MUE2-D01 rearset is designed with specific technical details to ensure secure and reliable operation. Key fasteners include various screws with specific dimensions and tightening torques. For instance, the central clamping bolt (M8x45-7991-TX) for footpeg position adjustment requires a tightening torque of 20 Nm. Other critical screws, such as the M6x20-7380-VA-TX and M6x16-7380-VA, are often pre-coated (PRECOTE 10-1) to prevent loosening. The mounting screws for the main brake cylinder (M6x16-7380-PRE10-1) also have a specified tightening torque of 10 Nm. The system includes an adapter for the brake master cylinder (HBZ-AD-B1) and cable ties (KB2,5-100) for secure cable management. The product is certified with ABE 91506, indicating compliance with specific regulatory standards for road use, particularly concerning the foldable footpegs. The footrest itself is designed to fold upwards and slightly towards the rear (approx. 45 degrees) for safety.

Usage Features:

The MUE2-D01 rearset offers extensive usage features that cater to individual rider needs.

Adjustability: The footpeg position can be adjusted in both length and height. This is achieved by loosening the central clamping bolt and then sliding the footpeg slider (UV-06) along its length or rotating the teethed adjuster (VST-04) for height adjustments. Laser engravings on the components assist in making identical adjustments on both the right and left sides.
Shifting Patterns: The rearset is compatible with both standard shifting and reverse shifting configurations. Riders can choose their preferred shifting pattern during installation by connecting the gear shaft appropriately. For reverse shifting, specific instructions involve screwing in a component completely.
Toe Piece Adjustment: The toe piece, which is part of the shift or brake lever, can be rotated or moved to further fine-tune the ergonomics. This involves loosening, rotating/moving, and then tightening the toe piece with a specified torque (e.g., 10 Nm for M6x20-7380-TX-PRE10-1 screws).
Brake System Integration: The rearset seamlessly integrates with the motorcycle's rear brake system. It includes provisions for mounting the brake master cylinder and an adapter (HBZ-AD-B1) to ensure proper function. Adjustments to the brake freeplay are crucial and involve spinning the rear wheel and pressing the brake lever to ensure a noticeable freeplay before the brake piston engages.
Installation: The manual provides detailed instructions for installation, starting with the removal of the original footpeg system and lower fairing. It emphasizes the importance of correct tightening torques for all fasteners to ensure safety and stability. It is recommended that the installation be performed by an official workshop or dealer due to the precision required.

Maintenance Features:

Maintenance of the MUE2-D01 rearset primarily involves regular checks and adherence to specified tightening torques.

Regular Checks: After initial installation and subsequent adjustments, it is crucial to check all screws and fasteners for correct tightening torque. This ensures that no components have loosened during initial use.
Lubrication: The manual indicates the use of grease (Fett/grease) in certain areas, such as the actuating rod for the brake system, to ensure smooth operation and prevent wear.
Safety Nut: A special safety nut is used on the backside of the central clamping bolt for footpeg adjustment. The manual explicitly warns against removing this bolt completely to avoid damaging or losing the safety nut, highlighting its importance for the system's integrity.
Brake Freeplay: Regular inspection of the brake freeplay is a critical maintenance step. The manual describes a test involving spinning the rear wheel and pressing the brake lever to ensure adequate freeplay. If the freeplay is insufficient, adjustments are necessary, and professional assistance is recommended.
Component Replacement: The manual includes a packing list with part numbers for various components, facilitating the identification and replacement of individual parts if necessary. This supports long-term usability and maintenance of the rearset.

Overall, the MUE2-D01 rearset is a sophisticated and highly adjustable component designed to enhance the riding experience by offering superior ergonomics and performance, backed by detailed installation and maintenance guidelines.
