Installing frame sliders on your naked bike is a smart way to protect your motorcycle's frame and engine in case of a fall or crash. These protective accessories absorb impact and reduce damage, potentially saving you costly repairs.

Tools and Materials Needed

  • Frame slider kit compatible with your naked bike model
  • Socket wrench set
  • Torque wrench
  • Thread locker (optional but recommended)
  • Clean cloth

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Follow these steps carefully to install frame sliders properly:

  1. Prepare Your Bike: Park your motorcycle on a stable surface and ensure it is turned off. Use a stand if available for better stability.
  2. Remove Necessary Bolts: Locate the mounting points on your bike's frame where the sliders will attach. Use the socket wrench to remove the existing bolts.
  3. Install Frame Sliders: Position the frame sliders and insert the bolts provided in the kit. Apply thread locker to bolts if desired for added security.
  4. Tighten Bolts: Use a torque wrench to tighten the bolts to the manufacturer’s recommended specifications to avoid over-tightening or damage.
  5. Check Your Work: Double-check that the sliders are firmly attached and that no components are loose.

With your frame sliders installed, your naked bike has an extra layer of protection to minimize damage during a slide or crash. Regularly inspect the sliders to ensure they remain secure and replace them if damaged.
