05-08 CBR600RR Fork Sliders Installation Instructions
Tools/Items you will need:
Rubber hammer
Ball peen hammer
Pin punch
22mm socket
Ratchet
12mm wrench
Vise Grip pliers
5mm hex key
Medium strength thread locker compound (available here)
This job is made easier if the bike is supported by a rear swingarm stand on a flat surface. The front wheel does
not need to be removed to install the fork sliders set, but the job can be done while the wheel is removed.
-Loosen the front axle bolt and back it out about ½ of an inch. (fig. 1 & 2)
-Loosen all four axle pinch bolts -2 on each fork leg. (fig. 3)
-With the rubber hammer, slightly tap the head of the axle bolt so the axle is driven out of the fork leg about ½ of
an inch. This will expose the holes in the non- threaded, larger side of the axle. (fig. 4 & 5)
-By locking the Vise grip pliers onto the roll pin, you will be able to hold the pin firmly in place, and the pin will be
compressed, making it easier to start into the hole. Hit the pin just enough to get it started into the hole. If it's
driven in too far, the slider will not go into place. (fig. 6 & 7)
-Hold the slider in place. You can use a 5mm hex key to align the slider with the axle. Hold the hex key in place
while driving the roll pin in from the opposite side. (fig 7)
-Drive the supplied roll pin through the hole in the axle and the slider. The pin should be driven just beneath the
outside diameter of the axle, if not, the axle will not go back into place in the fork leg. You will need to use your pin
punch for this step. (fig. 8)
-Once the left side slider is installed correctly, push the axle back to its normal position by hand. Do not use a
hammer- if the roll pin is not seated properly, the pin will damage the fork leg. If the axle will not go in, or is binding,
make sure the roll pin is seated properly.
-Apply medium strength thread locker(blue Loctite) to the axle bolt threads(fig 9). Install the right side slider
beneath the axle bolt and tighten the bolt slightly. (fig 10)
-Tighten all four axle pinch bolts. (fig 11)
-Tighten the axle bolt to 30 ft/lbs if using a torque wrench. (fig 12)
