2006-2007 GSXR 600/750 Frame Sliders Installation

Tools you will need:
Ratchet
Extension
17mm socket
8mm Allen/hex driver
4mm Allen/hex key
Small Phillips screwdriver or other pointed tool

A 1-1/8" hole will need to be cut in the left side fairing- you will need these other tools if that has not been
done already.
Drill
1-1/8 hole saw
Small drill bit (1/8 or close to 1/8)
Exacto knife or sharp razor
OES special alignment tool

Notice: Only one side at a time should be installed.

1. Start on the right side(fig.A) by removing the engine mount bolt, which is the bolt that is visible through
the hole in the fairing. Use your ratchet and 8mm hex driver to remove the bolt.

2. The right side frame slider is the shortest of the two. Put a small amount of grease or oil on the threads
of the bolt that is supplied with the slider, then install the slider. Start the bolt by hand first to insure proper
thread engagement, then tighten with the ratchet and 17mm socket.

3. If using a torque wrench, tighten to 30 ft/lbs.

Left side

1. Remove the left side fairing. The fairing has two push pins on the inside near the radiator that hold a
small plastic panel to the inside of the fairing- those should be removed first. Push in on the center of the
pin to release it, then pull out on the whole pin to remove from the panel. Two other push pins will need to
be removed from the underside  front point where the left and right sides come together.  The fairing has
three small bolts at the top edge where it meets the upper fairing, and one bolt near the kickstand. It is
also held in place by locator pins on the fairing, which you can just pull out on the fairing to release. The
fairing has a few tabs on the top edge- it should be angled outward at the bottom so the tabs can slide out
of their slots. After those few steps, the fairing should be free to lay aside.

2. Remove the engine mount bolt with your ratchet and 8mm hex driver.

Alignment tool function:
The alignment tools function is to make a mark on the inside of the plastic at the exact point which the hole
will be cut. Since the tool is threaded into the engine mount hole, and the frame slider also mounts at this
point, the hole you’ll cut in the fairing will be in precise alignment with the mounting point, assuming you
follow the instructions below carefully.

3. Thread the alignment tool into the same hole you just removed the engine mount bolt(fig.B). The depth
at which the tool is screwed into the hole is critical. You should be able to mount the fairing on the bike
without the tool interfering with the stock mounting position of the fairing. Also, the tool should not be
adjusted so far in that you need to push the fairing in more than 1/4" in order to obtain a mark So, if the
tool is adjusted too far out, the fairing won’t mount properly, which will result in a misaligned hole. And, if
the tool is in too far, you’ll need to push way in on the fairing before the tool makes contact, which will also
result in a misaligned hole. The tool can be accessed from the back opening in the fairing, and with a pair
of pliers, the tool can be adjusted in or out. If you set the tool in more than needed before mounting the
fairing, then once the fairing is mounted, you can just turn it out until it gets close enough. By pushing the
fairing inward at the area of the tool, it can be determined if the tool is set correctly. If you need to push in
more than 1/4", it’s too far and should be adjusted outward.

Once the tool is adjusted
4. Make sure the fairing is connected by at least two of the top bolts, and the bolt at the bottom near the
sidestand. The locator pins(not push pins, leave them out) on the fairing should be fully seated. One of the
locator pins is very close to the area the hole will be- this one absolutely needs to be fully seated. The
fairing needs to be in its normal mounted position to insure the mark is made in the proper area.

5. In the area of the tool, push inward with medium force- don’t break the fairing, just make a mark on it.

6. Remove the fairing and confirm a mark has been made(fig.C). You’ll probably see other small marks or
scratches, but one bigger mark should be noticeable. Remove the tool at this point.


7. At the mark, drill through from the inside of the fairing with the 1/8 drill.

8. At the 1/8 hole, start cutting the main hole(1-1/8) starting from the OUTSIDE(painted side) of the fairing.
Make sure to use a sharp hole saw.

9. When the hole is cut(fig.D), use an exacto knife or sharp razor to clean the edges of the hole(fig.E).

10. After the hole is finished, install the fairing completely- if all went well, you’ll notice that the hole is
directly in line with the engine mount bolt hole.

11. The left side slider is longest and uses an aluminum spacer at the base(fig.F) - the slider, bolt, and
spacer will be assembled together when shipped. Use grease or oil on the threads.Through the hole, you’ll
be able to attach the slider to its mounting point.  If using a torque wrench, tighten the bolt to 30 ft/lbs.

The factory shine of your OES frame sliders can be maintained by using a wax or polish on them when
cleaning the bike.

If needed, a single side can be purchased
