Is a separate installation kit required?
It depends on the motorcycle. For the R 1200 GS from 2016 and the R 1200 R and R 1200 RS, the Kappa catalog requires the KN5108KIT kit, sold separately. For the R 1200 GS from 2013 to 2015, the kit is not required. Kappa also makes the 5108KNKIT replacement screw kit available.

Can I install it myself?
Kappa recommends having the KN5108 installed by a qualified mechanic. The engine guard attaches to the motorcycle at specific points on the model and must be tightened and aligned correctly: an expert workshop will install it in a short time and check that it does not interfere with other parts.

Is it an original Kappa product?
Yes. It is the original Kappa engine guard with the manufacturer code KN5108 and EAN 8029871107238, new and in its original packaging. Kappa Moto is a brand of the GIVI S.p.A. group, which designs specific protection, luggage, and accessories for individual motorcycle models; Kappa products are made in Italy.

How can I check that it is suitable for my vehicle?
Check the compatibility table for your vehicle's make, model, version, and years: the KN5108 is listed by Kappa only for the R 1200 GS from 2013 to 2018 and the R 1200 R and R 1200 RS from 2015 to 2018. If you have any doubts, send us the chassis number or a photo of the motorcycle and we will check it before shipping.
