Yamaha 01-05 FZ-1 Frame Slider Installation
1. Start on either side of the bike(remove one side at a time, do not have both bolts out at one time) by locating
the forward engine mount bolts. These are paired together on both sides of the bike on the frame down-tubes,
just in front of the engine.
2. Remove only the top bolt of the two. The nut on the backside of the bolt will need to be held with a wrench.
Reach through the engine exhaust system to access the nut.
3. Remove the existing bolt and nut.
4. Lightly lubricate (any type of automotive grease or oil will work) the supplied bolt threads. Put supplied bolt
through frame slider and insert in bolt hole. Use the proper size hex driver and extension to push bolt completely
through the engine mount. This procedure is sometimes difficult due to the holes becoming misaligned. Although
there are no threads in the engine mount, twisting the bolt as if there were will help. You will need to hold the
engine mount spacer from being pushed out of place by the bolt. If needed, the engine mount bracket can be
loosened from the engine to free up the mount, realigning the holes and allowing the bolt to be pushed through
completely.
5. After the bolt is through, add the supplied Nyloc nut and hold with a wrench while tightening the bolt. If you are
using a torque wrench, tighten to 35lb/ft.
6. Repeat the steps for the opposite side.
