03-05 Yamaha R6, 06-09 R6S Frame Slider Installation
1. Remove the right side mid fairing.
2. Locate and remove the forward, upper engine mount screw. This is the screw closest to the cowl opening for
the engine. The screw goes through the frame and into the side of the engine cylinder head.
3. Lightly lubricate (any type of automotive grease or oil will work) the supplied screw threads. Install the slider
and bracket assembly using the supplied screw and washer. Thread the screw in by hand a couple turns to
ensure proper thread engagement.
4. Angle the slider and bracket assembly similar to the one pictured (figure A) then tighten. If using a torque
wrench, tighten to 33 ft/lbs.
Note: Although the slider and bracket assembly comes pre-assembled, it is not pre-torqued. Check
to make sure the slider-to-bracket screw is tight, but do not apply the same amount of torque as the
bracket to engine mount. 15-20 ft/lbs of torque is recommended. Medium strength (blue)
threadlocker (on this screw only) is required. If threadlocker is not used the frame slider will most
likely fall off the bracket while riding due to vibration.
5. Install the right side mid fairing.
Make certain that the right side is tight before removing the left side screw.
6. On the left, the fairing does not block the mounting point. The screw is accessible with the fairing in place.
Remove the existing engine mount screw and install the slider. Above is an illustration for the left side. (Figure B)
7. If using a torque wrench, tighten the screw to 33 ft/lbs.
Caution: Do not use high alkaline based detergents to clean the offset bracket. Use of harsh detergents could
cause discoloration of the anodized finish of the bracket.
