Hey man, great video. However, you installed your bottom spacers on the wrong sides, and also, the engine mount bolts are M10 bolts and have a torque spec of 25 ft lbs, not 16. The slider bolts are M8 and have the torque spec of 16 ft lbs. Couple of edits for anyone that is actually using the video as an install guide. Cheers and keep up the good content.
I know this is an old video, but since it's the only instruction for these frame sliders I just wanted to add some clarification. You can no longer view the parts PDF on Sato's website but if you look at the picture located on their website of everything put together but not on the bike, the bolt with the curved spacer is attached to the left side bracket. For those of you following this as instructions for mounting these sliders he was right in that respect. For the torque specs you can go off either the owners manual or the instructions but personally as long as it's close to the original tension you felt when removing the engine bolts, you're golden. Cheers!
Hey man… straight forward video with precise details! Question… I got the Vortex racing sliders for the GSXR 1K and started with the right side 1st… I’m trying to screw it into the mounting point but the bolt won’t go in. How did you manage to get the screws in for the sliders? These are also no cut so it’s a very similar setup in regards to the bracket and puck extension I’m thinking maybe my engine fell a lil? Hence I’m facing a lot of resistance when I’m like 40-50% in and am unable to tighten the rest of the slider screw
if you feel that resistance then i wouldn't go further as you may start to strip the engine block. if anything then you may want to cut the bolt at the end of it, so it will be tight enough to hold the slider but not to the point where it will strip the block.
@@ACProductions77 hmm I see what you’re saying, I’m just thinking maybe the bolt is hardly penetrating the engine mount since the engine might be misaligned from the hole hence the resistance? I saw some forums online and people have mentioned to maybe try to place a jack under the oil drain plug area to slightly lift the engine up to make sure the frame and engine align for the screw to thread with ease.. 🤔
@@abdulsamjoo3804 be very careful if you plan on using a jack under the oil pan as that will dent it, if anything try using a long pry bar against the frame to align it back and have a friend help you so you can see properly the fitment for the bolts
@@ACProductions77 I see what you’re saying, I was going to use a 2 by 4 or a wooden block to provide more of a base for the bottom of the engine.. and the plan is to just barely lift it, enough so the two holes just align for the thread to go through and torque on right. Man, I should just come to you and get this done 😂 (fellow Chicago IL resident lol)
I got those same chuck taylors for my gsxr kick stand@12:09
I also made a video on it>> ruclips.net/video/-R2n1ktys8g/видео.htmlsi=__nsV6GK7Qtl-p21
Nice video dude. I'm getting a 2023 and plan on getting these. Thanks!
welcome glad im able to help, stay tunes as i have much more videos coming up just never enough time to edit

thank you for the updates. I was just going off what the instructions said that came with the kit. I could of gotten a misprint.
