2015-2024 Yamaha R1/R1M Installation Instructions For:
Frame sliders
Swingarm Spools
Fork Sliders
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.
Tools needed (frame sliders):
- Torque wrench
- 3/8 or 1/2" drive ratchet -
- 8mm hex driver
- 10mm hex driver
- 6mm hex (Allen) key
Frame Sliders
1. Start on the right side of the bike (do not loosen both sides at once) by removing the engine mount screw. This is the screw that goes through the frame and into the side of the engine- it is visible through the opening in the side fairing. The screw uses the 8mm hex driver to loosen. The screw is circled in red in the photo below (figure A).
Warning! Do not remove the three piece tapered spacer set (figure B) that is beneath the right side factory mounting screw. The spacers will normally stay positioned correctly once the factory screw is loosened and removed but in some cases the outer cone-shaped spacer will fall out of place. See figure B for a picture of the spacers.
2. Identify the right slider- it is the shorter slider.
WARNING: THE WASHER MUST BE ON THE SCREW BEFORE INSTALLING THE SLIDERS
3. Our frame slider screw is driven by a 10mm hex driver. Do not use any type of impact wrench to install the slider screw. Using a torque wrench, tighten the screw to the factory torque specification (same as factory screw).
4. Make sure the right side is tight before starting on the left side.
5. On the left side, remove the engine mount screw (figure C) using the 10mm hex driver and install the longer frame slider. Using a torque wrench, tighten the screw to the factory torque specification (same as factory screw). The spacer set is not a factory part of the left side mount.
Fork Sliders
(CAUTION!!! TOO MUCH TORQUE IN THE FORK SLIDERS ROD WILL
CAUSE THE THREADS TO STRIP AND A NEW ROD WILL NEED TO BE
PURCHASED).
Items needed:
- 5mm Hex/Allen wrench (2)
- Blue thread locker (Loctite)
- Red thread locker (Loctite)
1. Apply a small amount of red thread locker to the screw threads of the longest
screw (40mm) that was supplied with the fork sliders set.
2. Attach the slider with the extended base to the aluminum fork slider rod.
3. After tightening, insert rod/slider assembly into the right side of the axle.
4. Apply blue thread locker to the short screw in the set (30mm, the only one left)
and install the slider with the recessed base onto the left side fork. It may take a second
to find the rod in the axle and get the threads started but just be sure the screw
starts straight.
5. Hold the screw on the opposite side with another 5mm hex wrench and tighten
the left side with a small amount of torque. CAUTION!!!! The threads in the rod
will strip if too much force is applied to the screws when tightening.
The fork slider assembly should not have any lateral movement once tightened.
Swingarm Spools
Items needed:
6mm hex/Allen wrench
Blue thread locker
The spools mount to the swingarm- the arrow in figure C points to the mounting point.
1. Apply a small amount of medium (blue) thread locking compound to each spool screw.
2. Tighten with light torque with the 6mm Allen Key.
If one side is damaged in a crash or drop, we offer single side replacements, instead of buying a complete set.
