INSTRUCTIONS: (above
picture shows: Slider Kit, Left Slider, Right Slider)
1) Make sure the bike is on a stand and vertical, and make sure that
the engine is supported from below by blocks.
2) Remove the two side fairings. Support the belly pan when fairings
are removed to prevent scratches.
3)
Loosen and remove the mid engine support rod's nut on the right side
(right while sitting on bike). You may have to secure the left side with
a allen
key
to
do
this.
4) From the right side, install the longer
slider
into the frame and insert the rod (the end with shorter length of
threads) through the slider till it meets the factory engine bolt. Using
a rubber mallet,
very gently
drive the
factory
bolt
out. It should come out pretty easily.
Do not use excessive force as this may damage the threads on the
supplied rod. If it does not come out easily you may have to lower
the engine supporting blocks a bit.
5) Once the factory bolt is driven
out and the supplied threaded rod is protruding out from the left side
(the end with the shorter length of threads), install the shorter left
slider
using the supplied gripnut. It may be necessary to loosen or tighten
the nuts
to
ensure
that sufficient
amount of threads are
exposed on each side. Tighten the nuts to factory specifications.
6) Reinstall fairings.
Do Not Over Tighten!
