I am still a newbie. I just picked up my first bike a couple of months ago; used 02-R6. I was wondering if this was normal. For some reason, I have 2 frame sliders on the right side of my bike and one on the left? I showed a guy that works at the dealership and his response was; "What kind of Mickey Mouse $#^t is that"? He said that one slider was mounted into the swing arm something and that it might cause problems. What do you think?

I bought one on Ebay a year ago for my '04, but was too lazy to install it (plus, I didn't have the right socket to fit the large a$$ nut...)

one question: why is it called a clutch slider if it's NOT on the clutch side?

 

[maulrat]

Is there a way to install one on the left side in the hole just above my shift lever so that my bike feels even (in my head)?

That is where the clutch is...you're thinking about the SHIFTER, which is located on the left side.

that is where the clutch is. follow the cable from your handlebars and you will see.

My Clutch is on the right side, my clutch cable runs down to the right side andyou can see the lever releasing the clucth in action.

Just to clarify, when I said "shift lever", I was refering to the lever above your left toes; not the one on the handle bars.

Maybe I'm getting my terminology wrong...

Shifter: Left foot
Rear Brake: Right foot
Clutch: Left Hand
Throttle: right hand

Are those correct? it's too dark to go outside and follow the clutch cable down to the engine. maybe tomorrow.

That additional sider is normal if you want that type of protection. There's nothing wrong with it.

Your mistaken bro. The slider is for the clutch casing not the cluth lever or shifter. That weird though I've never seen it, but these guys say its normal so hey.

 

[Paytheon]

There are many different types of sliders. Some people even put cages on their bikes. If it's something you don't want or need just remove it.

Just to clarify since this seems to be a problem:

The Clutch Lever is on the left handlebar.
The Clutch (as in clutch plate and other working components) is down low by your right foot. There are no clutch controls in this area.

I got one but didnt keep it on the bike due to the unevenness.

 

[spartikus]

how the hell do you put one of those on i bought one off of ebay but can't figure it out it looks like the first thing i would need is a huge socket.

You need a huge socket, a huge rachet, and alot of muscle or huge impact wrench.

 

[spartikus]

damn well i guess i will just use it as a paper weight until i can figure out where to get the tools to install it or find someone to do it for me.

 

[Killians31]

i have one on my bike, i have been trying to find a gear slider (for the left side) to even the look out and a little more protection, but i cant seem to find anything...anyone know where i can find one?

 

[maulrat]

Hope this helps. This is what it looks like under my clutch slider. It seems to have some sort of huge socket-looking bolt on there with a drilled hole for the attachment bolt. Hope this helps.

that just looks wierd to me. the one mounted to the motor mout through the fairing looks goo but on the frame is kind of like a sore thumb
