2009-2010 ZX6R Frame Sliders Installation
Tools you will need:
- 8mm hex/Allen driver
- 4mm hex/Allen key or driver
- 14mm socket
- 3/8 drive ratchet
* Start on the right side- do not have both side engine mount screws loose at the same time.
* The fairings will need to be partially disconnected, but do not need to be completely removed from the bike.
1. On the right side (viewed as sitting on the bike, right is throttle side), remove the 4mm allen head screws at these
points(also circled in figure A below):
* At the top part of the fairing close to the frame. While riding the bike, the screw would be below your right arm. The
hex key will be in the vertical position while removing/installing this screw.
* At the back section of the mid fairing, just under the cowl opening for the engine.
* At the rear area of the lower fairing, just below the rear brake lever.
Removing these 3 screws will allow the fairing to flex outward enough (figure B) to gain access to the engine mount
screw. This method may require (or will be easier with) a helper.
NOTICE! PLEASE READ THIS NEXT STEP VERY CAREFULLY. WHEN PROBLEMS OCCUR WITH THIS FRAME
SLIDERS INSTALLATION PROCEDURE, 99% OF THEM ARE CONCERNING THIS NEXT STEP, AND ARE DIRECTLY
RELATED TO THE INSTALLER NOT READING OR NOT UNDERSTANDING THIS NEXT STEP. READ CAREFULLY.
IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND IT OR YOUR MECHANIC DOES NOT UNDERSTAND IT, CALL US BEFORE
PROCEEDING.
On the right side you will see a castle-type nut on a large stud. 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 screw and the stud are one,
but the stud is hollow and the engine mount screw runs through it.
2. With the 14mm socket and ratchet, remove the engine mount screw. This screw is longer than necessary from the
factory and will be used with the frame slider kit, since it is long enough and offers better clearance than the typical
mounting screws offered with our frame sliders sets.
Note: Thread locker compound (Loctite) is not needed for this screw, but we recommend adding a small amount of
grease or oil to the threads.
3. Using the screw you just removed, attach the small offset bracket to the engine mount point.
The bracket normally comes assembled with the right side slider. If shipping requires the bracket and slider to be
apart, the bracket and slider will be marked as right or left side. The bracket should be pointing down. (figure C)
4. Place the right side frame slider (shorter slider) against the bracket to check the bracket adjustment.
If the bracket is adjusted correctly, final tighten the engine mounting screw. If using a torque wrench, tighten to 35
ft/lbs.
5. Install all fairing mount screws that were previously removed.
6. Attach the frame slider to the bracket using the supplied screw and final tighten using the 8mm hex driver and
ratchet or torque wrench. 25 ft/lbs is the frame slider to bracket torque amount.
Left Side
1. On the left side (viewed as sitting on the bike, left is clutch lever side), remove the 4mm allen head screws.
* The fairing screws that need to be removed from the left side are the same as the right side.
* The left side has a separate plastic piece beneath the fairing. The plastic piece is held on by two screws and
needs to be removed and slightly modified for fitment of the frame slider on the left side, since the piece partially
covers the left side engine mount screw. Figure D shows the fairing being held out while the plastic piece is
loosened.
2. Remove the left engine mount screw.
3. Using the supplied screw (do not use the factory screw as you did for the right side), attach the left offset bracket
and adjust correctly. Tighten the screw to 35 ft/lbs.
The next step will involve making a slight modification to the plastic piece. The modification does not effect the
function of the piece and, if done properly, is not noticeable.
4. By attempting to install the plastic piece, you’ll notice that the piece needs a very small amount cut from the
section that is against the frame slider bracket (figure E). The cut is minimal and will allow the piece to attach in its
normal position over the frame slider offset bracket. The small cut can be made with a box cutter or Dremel tool and
the area to be cut is outlined in red in figure E below.
* The piece should attach easily and with both screws, since it is the attaching point for one of the fairing screws.
5. Install all fairing screws.
6. Using the supplied screw, attach the left side frame slider. If using a torque wrench, tighten to 25 ft/lbs
Special Notes:
* Use an automotive wax or polish on your OES frame sliders to maintain the factory shine and finish of the Delrin.
* Caution: Do not use high alkaline based detergents to clean the offset brackets. Use of harsh detergents could
cause discoloration of the anodized finish of the brackets.
* If you have a crash and damage one side, you can purchase just the side you need by contacting us or by
purchasing directly from our website. Observe whether or not the mounting screws or bracket is bent.
