2007 ZX-6R Frame Slider Installation
Tools you will need:
4mm Hex/Allen key/driver
6mm Hex/Allen driver(an Allen or hex key will not work)
17mm socket
Ratchet and extension
Small standard screwdriver
Fairings do not need to be modified (cut) in any way. Only the right side mid fairing needs to be partially
removed to attach the bracket and slider assembly.
1. Remove the left side engine mount bolt with the 6mm hex driver. This bolt is visible through the cowl opening
in the mid fairing(fig A). The fairings on the left side can remain attached to the bike, since the bolt can be
accessed easily with the fairing in place.
NOTICE: The engine mount bolts are normally very tight from the factory. You will not be able to loosen the
bolts with just a 6mm hex key- you will need a hex driver (the type that is used with a 3/8 or 1/2 drive ratchet).
2. Now you can install the left side frame slider. The left side slider is longer and does not use an offset bracket
like the right side. Tighten the supplied bolt with your 17mm socket and ratchet w/ extension. If you are using a
torque wrench, tighten to 30-35 lbs/ft.
3. Partially remove the right side mid fairing by removing the three 4mm hex screws at the lower edge of the mid
fairing(fig B, #3,4,and 5), and the two which are up higher and closer to the frame(fig B, # 1 and 2). The other
screws at the upper edge of the mid fairing(connecting the mid to the upper fairing, not pictured), do not need
to be removed. Also, there are two push pins (fig C) that need to be removed- one at the right side of the
triangular opening just behind the front wheel, and one that connects from the bottom of this same opening,
beneath the bike. These push pins can be removed with a small flat blade screwdriver. Once these five screws
and two push pins are removed, the mid fairing will still be connected to the upper, but will flex out of the way
enough to access the engine mount bolt, which is the slider mounting point.
4. On the right side you will see a castle-type nut on a large stud with a 6mm hex bolt in the center (fig D). This
is the lock nut for the engine mount adjuster and does not need to be loosened. At a glance, it may appear that
the engine mount bolt and the stud are one, but the stud is hollow (fig E) and the engine mount bolt runs
through it. Remove the bolt with your 6mm hex driver. We have found that this bolt is normally hard to remove
from the factory, and if your hex driver is not of good quality, it may end up in the scrap bucket. We will normally
use an impact gun to remove the right side if we install the sliders in our shop.
The right side bracket and slider assembly come pre-installed for shipping purposes. You will need to remove
the slider from the bracket with your 17mm socket and ratchet w/extension.
5. Install the right side bracket (fig F) using the supplied bolt- retain the factory bolt for later use. Adjust the
bracket to a position which will allow the slider to clear the fairing once mounted, then final tighten the bracket
to engine mount bolt. If using a torque wrench, tighten to 30-35 lbs/ft.
Attach the slider to the offset bracket. If using a torque wrench, tighten to 30 ft/lbs.
6. Reinstall the five screws and the two push pins.
Note: If you have a crash and damage one side, you can purchase just the side you need by contacting us.
Observe whether or not the bolts or bracket is bent.
