99-02 Yamaha R6 Frame Sliders Installation Instructions
Tools you will need:
- 3/8 or 1/2 drive ratchet
- short extension
- 14mm socket
- 10mm hex/Allen driver
- Allen wrench set (metric)
- Hole saw that is larger than the diameter frame slider by 1/8"
- Drill for hole saw
- Sharp knife/razor or Dremel tool
Instructions are based on using our special alignment tool
1. Start on the left side by removing the fairing.
2. Remove the left engine mount screw (circled, fig. A) and screw the alignment tool into the open hole. Do not
remove the frame pinch bolt.
3. Reinstall the left fairing. The fairing should mount completely without hitting the tool point.
4. You will need to adjust the tool so that it is very close to the mounted fairing, but does not interfere with the fairing
being properly mounted. This is critical for the accuracy of the mark.
5. With the fairing completely mounted (use all fairing mounting screws), push in firmly in the area of the tool so that a
mark can be made on the inside of the fairing with the tool point. NOTE: If the tool is not adjusted properly, the
fairing will need to be pushed in too far to achieve a mark and the mark will be inaccurate.
6. Remove the fairing and confirm a mark was made on the inside of the plastic.
7. Using a hole saw that is approx. 1/8" bigger than the slider diameter you have, drill at the mark.
You will also need to remove a small amount of plastic from the top edge of the lower fairing using a Dremel tool or
sharp knife. This is because the hole you cut is very close to the connecting point of the mid and lower fairings.
8. Remove the tool.
9. Lightly lubricate (any type of automotive grease or oil will work) the supplied screw threads. Install the left side
frame slider (longest of the two) using the supplied screw. If using a torque wrench, tighten to 30 ft/lbs.
10. Reinstall the left fairing.
11. Repeat the steps above for the right side (Fig. B). The right side slider is the shortest of the two.
