Frame Sliders - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

Shinn · 08-16-2008, 12:14 PM

Hey all. This will be the first mod to my new baby,and after experiencing a crash first hand on my previous bike, I know sliders are a god send. Basic questions I got are as follows:

Are the Yamaha sliders any good for the price? (around $250 canadian)
Any other brand recommended and why?

I would prefer to not have to drill any holes, and am looking for a set that could still be used with a full fairing if I decide to get one later on. Thanks a bunch!

None of the sliders for the FZ6 will require drilling any hard plastic parts. I use Puig sliders. Many people in the forum love their motovation sliders and uncaged I think (did I spell those right?)

Also check out the R&G sliders. They have great reputation but I am not sure if they make any for the FZ6. Hope this helps

I don't know anything about the other brands firsthand but I love my Motovation sliders. I used mine a couple of weeks ago and they worked exactly as expected.

Here is an after pic. My bike didn't slide very far; maybe 20 to 25 feet, but the slider didn't lose much material. It would have held up to a much longer slide.

+1 for the motivation sliders. 90 usd is a good price and it took about 10 min to install.

250 is ridiculous

+1 on frame sliders.

Here's a picture of what my bike looked like after I low slided at the track in May of course without frame sliders. Live and learn. But you guys that don't have frame sliders don't have to. Take it from me, make your next mod some frame sliders.

Did you suffer any damage to the forks or swingarm?

No, swingarm and fork are untouched but I can't understand how. I am thinking of putting sliders on both.

I don't think that there's any place to mount sliders on the swing arm. Correct me if I'm wrong. BTW, here's a shot of a T-rex slider after a slow-speed slide. I imagine that if it had been a high-speed slide it would've worn down pretty fast? Do some sliders wear more slowly than others? Is this where paying $80 instead of $200 or $100 makes a difference?

I have the T-Rex sliders and just put them to the test. After a 20' slide mine wore down to the allen head bolt but still kept the frame and motor clean. From the pics I would say that the Motivation sliders appear to hold up better.
