Perhaps the RHS bolt for holding on the RHS hand protector needs pulling out 10 mm ? then re-tightening.
It was tight without bolt put back in.
Trim? A bit off the end?

Sounds like it needs trimming. A sharp knife or Stanley knife will do it. But check if there is another way first.

Yes. The outside end.

i did mine last week? for the crf250l and I had to both trim the outer end of the heated grips I was fitting AND
pull out the handguards by 10 mm ... held it there in the place I wanted and then tightened the bolt.


it is very important to have free movement.

Maybe you could retro fit a larger caliper onto the disk to give more leverage?
