2006 Yamaha YZF600 R6 New Body Style Race Frame Sliders Install Instructions

Congratulations! You have just purchased the world’s finest frame sliders for the Yamaha R6. These sliders have been designed to offer unsurpassed protection to your Yamaha YZF600 R6 in the unfortunate event of a lowside or tip over. Will not fit older model R6. Motovation frame sliders are designed and manufactured by a company that only makes frame sliders. Each and every model is tested for drop and slide protection. They are tough but not brittle and can also absorb a huge impact. Sportsriders around the world who have tested various models of our products on the track have all given their thumbs up after experiencing first hand, the benefits of Motovation Frame Sliders.

Please read all instructions before beginning work! These frame sliders are designed to fit specific engine mounts of your Yamaha R6. It is highly recommended that you refer to your service manual before performing this installation.

Included in this kit:
(2) Heat treated socket head bolts
(2) M10 Stainless Steel Washers
(2) Anodized Aluminum bushings (pressed into plastic)
(2) Plastic Frame Sliders, Longer - left side

INSTRUCTIONS:
Before beginning make sure pinch bolts are tight to prevent engine movement.
1. Remove the right-side engine mount bolt (forward lower mount).
2. Install the shorter slider using the bolt and washer (under bolt head) supplied in this kit. *See ‘Fairing Modifications’ below.
3. Tighten the engine mount bolt to the factory specifications - DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
4. Remove the left-side frame mount bolt (middle mount – black frame).
5. Install the left slider using the bolt supplied in this kit. NO FAIRING MODIFICATION SHOULD BE REQUIRED FOR RIGHT SLIDER INSTALLATION UNLESS RACE BODYWORK IS USED.*

6. Tighten the engine mount bolt to the factory specifications - DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

* If you are using race bodywork, follow the same procedure for both sliders. See fairing modification below.


FAIRING MODIFICATIONS If you have the race kit, install the right side slider bolt without the slider.  Engage only a few threads and re-install the fairing to mark the inside of the fairing for the pilot hole.  We sometimes coat the head of the socket screw with a non permanent marker or place some putty on the inside of the fairing so the the screw will make a mark or an indentation.  Once the center of the bolt location on the fairing is determined, it is suggested that you drill a small pilot hole to locate the engine mount. Once you have found the center, use a hole saw and cut a hole approximately 38 mm in diameter. Edges can be filed for perfect fit, or inaccuracies in drilling. We have found that placing masking tape on the area helps protect from scratches, cracks, etc. Re-install the fairing first before installing the silder.

Thank-you for purchasing Motovation products.  Please ride safe and always wear protective clothing.
