What is the primary purpose of frame sliders?
Their primary purpose is to protect the motorcycle's engine fairing and chassis from damage in the event of a fall or accident by absorbing impact and sliding.

Troubleshooting
Sliders are loose after installation.
Check that all mounting bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque. Ensure no mounting hardware was omitted.
Difficulty aligning mounting points during installation.
Ensure all interfering components (like fairings) are fully removed. Double-check that you have the correct model sliders for your specific motorcycle year.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This specific Puig R19 Frame Slider model (7714N) is designed exclusively for the Kawasaki Versys 650, model years 2015 through 2023. Ensure your motorcycle's model and year match this specification before purchase.
Installation: These frame sliders are engineered for a direct fit, meaning they mount onto existing frame points. It is crucial to follow the manufacturer's installation instructions precisely. Typically, this involves removing existing fairing sections, attaching the slider mounting hardware, and then installing the slider pucks. Important: Use a torque wrench to tighten mounting bolts to the manufacturer's specified torque. Overtightening can damage the frame or mounting points, while undertightening can lead to the slider coming loose during an impact.
Care: Keep the sliders clean by wiping them with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material. Regularly inspect the sliders for any signs of wear, cracking, or damage, especially after a minor incident, and replace them if compromised.
