How to Install Moto Graphics

Preparation Is Key

Before diving in, ensure the bike’s surface is clean and dry.
Use a mild detergent or alcohol based cleaner to remove any dirt, grease, or wax residue.
Rinse thoroughly and let it dry completely.

Gather Your Tools

Gather the essentials: a squeegee or soft cloth, a heat gun or hairdryer, masking tape, rubbing alcohol, and a sharp blade or scalpel.

Positioning & Alignment

Place the graphics loosely on the bike to visualise the final placement.
Use masking tape to secure them in position without adhering them yet.
This step allows you to ensure alignment and make any necessary adjustments.

Clean Again

Wipe the bike’s surface with solution alcohol to remove any remaining residue and ensure optimal adhesion.

Peeling & Application

Peel off a small portion of the graphic’s backing, align it with the desired position, and gently press it onto the surface.
Gradually peel off more of the backing as you smooth the graphic onto the bike, avoiding air bubbles by using a squeegee or soft cloth.

Heat and Seal

Using a heat gun or hairdryer on a low setting, warm the graphics evenly while pressing them firmly onto the bike.
This step activates the adhesive and helps the graphics conform to the bike’s curves and contours.

Trim Excess Material

If necessary carefully trim any excess material using a sharp blade or scalpel, following the bike’s lines for a precise fit.

Final Check & Seal

After applying the graphics, go over the entire surface with a squeegee or soft cloth to ensure proper adhesion.
Use the heat gun or hairdryer again to seal the edges for added durability.
Be careful not to use too much heat!

Let It Set

Allow the graphics to set for at least 24 hours before exposing the bike to extreme conditions or washing it.
Go over the edges with a heat gun or hair dryer to ensure optimal adhesion.
