Installation Instructions for:
Frame Sliders
Fork Sliders
Swingarm Spools Installation
Rear Axle 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-
- 3/8 drive ratchet
- Short 3/8 extension
- 8mm socket head (Allen) driver
- Torque wrench
Frame Slider Notes:
- It's best to work on only one side at a time
- Side is as viewed while sitting on the bike so right is throttle side and left is clutch lever
side.
- The rear sliders are nearly identical- both are 4.0" long but the right side has a slightly longer base.
- The front left slider is longer than the right side slider.
- It is normal to be able to twist the slider on the spacer after fully tightening.
Front Frame Sliders:
1. Start on the right side by removing the factory engine mount screw. (fig A)
2. Put the screw/washer through the shorter frame slider. WARNING: THE WASHER MUST BE ON THE SCREW BEFORE INSTALLING THE SLIDERS
3. Thread the screw into the engine and tighten the screw to the factory torque specification (same as factory screw).
4. Repeat the same steps on the opposite side with the other frame slider.
Rear Frame Sliders:
The rear frame sliders are both the same length but the right slider has a slightly longer
base (smaller diameter section).
1. Start on the right side by removing the factory engine mount screw (fig B)
2. Put the screw/washer through the frame slider with the longer base.
3. Thread the screw into the engine and tighten the screw to the factory torque specification (same as factory screw).
4. Repeat the same steps on the opposite side with the other frame slider.
FZ-09/FJ-09 Fork Sliders Installation
(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 shortest
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 left side of the axle. The
slider base should fit into the axle hex.
4. Apply blue thread locker to the longer screw in the set (60mm, 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 Installation
Items needed:
- 5mm Hex/Allen wrench
- Blue thread locker (Loctite)
1. Apply a small amount of thread locker to the screw threads and thread
screw into the mounting point near the rear axle on the lower side of the
swingarm.
2. Tighten with a small amount of torque using the 5mm hex wrench.
3. Repeat steps 1-2 on opposite side.
Rear Axle Sliders Installation
(CAUTION!!! TOO MUCH TORQUE IN THE AXLE 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 (60mm) that was supplied with the axle sliders set.
2. Attach the slider with the extended base (long slider) to the aluminum axle slider rod.
3. After tightening, insert rod/slider assembly into the left side of the axle.
4. Apply blue thread locker to the shorter screw in the set (40mm, the only one left)
and install the slider with the recessed base onto the right side. 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 right 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 rear axle slider assembly should not have any lateral movement once tightened.
