FZ6R - How to install NO Cut Frame Sliders

[Jay S.]

I already had the threadlock, but I guess I well have to buy the torque wrench. Probably for the best anyhow.
Thanks.

In my very humble opinion...if you are going to do your own mods/work (on any bike, not just the FZ) a torque wrench is mandatory.



Maybe it's because I'm a jet mechanic and we use TW's for everything. Can't be having parts come off at 30K feet. It's the mechanic-geek in me I guess.

Thank you all for this thread. I just installed my Shogun No Cut Sliders, and it was extremely easy, due in part to this thread (and the OEM torque setting for the engine bolts.)

Not sure why Shogun tells you to remove both the left and right fairing for this tho...you don't have to touch the right fairing at all.

Hey guys quick question about the torque wrench, how tight do the engine bolts need to be tightened to? A torque wrench is to measure how tight something is in NM?

anyone with the newer TREX sliders please let me know if this is normal for the hole on the bracket to look like its been double drilled?

I just received my t-rex kit and I'm on the fence about the quality.

they also did not include any installation instructions which is not helping the cause. let me know if you think this may be an issue.

or if you still have a copy of the instructions and wouldn't mind sending them my way.

I bought a pair of frame sliders and their design is a little different; anyone know which bolt goes with what slider. The package came with zero instructions. Also, which the one slider has a bit of a lip, which side does that go on?

Which one is of better quality - Shogun or T-Rex frame sliders? I'm leaning on the T-Rex from what I read in this forum.

Does anyone know for sure what the 'manufacturer's specs' are for the torque for a 2012? It's not anywhere in the manual that I can find:

or in the sliders' manual:

Also (sorry I'm dumb) what size/type of torque wrench? Thanks!

Got my SHOGUN frame sliders today and printed out your "How-To" to take out to the garage with me tomorrow. Thanks

Yamaha Technical Manual says 39 Ft. Lbs. of torque on the bolts. You really should be using a torque wrench also as these are steel bolts being screwed into aluminum.
