Yamaha 01-05 FZ-1 Frame Sliders Installation
WARNING: The installation of all parts in these installation instructions must be performed by a qualified motorcycle mechanic who is using the correct tools and who understands the correct use of all tools required to complete the 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 (see picture below). 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 (see arrow in picture below). 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. Put the 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. WARNING: THE WASHERS MUST BE ON THE SCREW BEFORE INSTALLING THE SLIDERS
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. Tighten the screw to the factory torque specification (same as factory screw).
6. Repeat the steps for the opposite side.
