Introducing the Replacement Frame Sliders with Acetal Pucks, specifically designed for the Kawasaki Ninja 650, 650R, and EX650 models from 2009 to 2011. These frame sliders are essential for motorcycle enthusiasts looking to enhance their bike’s protection. Built from high-quality materials, they help safeguard the frame, engine cases, and fairings, significantly reducing the potential costs associated with cosmetic repairs after an accident.

One of the standout features of these frame sliders is their aftermarket design, which allows for a direct installation without the need for extensive modifications. However, it is crucial to note that professional installation is highly recommended to ensure optimal performance and fitment. Unfortunately, installation instructions are not included, which means that some assembly experience is beneficial.

When installing these frame sliders, it is essential to take proper steps to maximize their effectiveness. If your bike’s fairings do not cover the engine mount position, you can install the sliders directly without cutting. For models that require fairing removal, carefully detach your fairings and mount the frame sliders onto the engine mount position. You will need to trim the fairings slightly to allow the sliders to protrude adequately.

The installation process involves using hex bolts to secure the sliders to their respective brackets. Mount the shorter slider onto the thinner bracket and the longer slider onto the thicker bracket. To attach the brackets, bolt the shorter bracket onto the clutch side of the bike using two bolts—one long and one short—and the longer spacer. For the throttle side, use the longer bracket with a single long bolt and the shorter spacer.

Customer feedback highlights the robustness of these frame sliders. For instance, one customer mentioned that while the installation process took some time due to the absence of instructions, the product proved to be solid and reliable. They suggested that a clamp for the right-hand side could provide additional security, ensuring the slider remains firmly in place.

Another customer shared their experience of needing to remove the fairings to install these sliders correctly on their 2008 Ninja 650R. They noted that lining up the brackets accurately was crucial for a successful installation. It’s advisable to have someone assist you during this process to ensure everything aligns properly.

Overall, the Replacement Frame Sliders with Acetal Pucks for the Kawasaki Ninja 650, 650R, and EX650 are an excellent investment for any rider looking to protect their bike. With their sleek black design, they not only provide functional benefits but also enhance the aesthetic appeal of your motorcycle. Make sure to consider these sliders if you want reliable protection for your ride, as they are designed to withstand the rigors of the road and offer peace of mind for every ride.
