Product Information
Full details
Puig Frame Sliders (MPN: 7709N) are essential safety upgrades for BMW S1000 XR owners looking to protect their motorcycle's engine and chassis from damage during accidental drops or slides. These sliders offer robust impact resistance through a high-quality nylon construction and a specialized steel core, ensuring that your bike remains protected without sacrificing its aggressive aesthetic. Please note that while these sliders provide significant protection for your engine casing and frame, they cannot guarantee immunity from all damage in high-speed impact scenarios.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Will these sliders fit my BMW S1000 R?
No, this specific part (7709N) is engineered specifically for the geometry of the BMW S1000 XR.
Do I need to cut my fairings to install these?
No, these are 'no-cut' sliders designed to bolt directly into existing chassis points.
Are the slider pucks replaceable?
Yes, if the puck is damaged during a slide, you can typically purchase replacement nylon pucks without needing to replace the entire bracket kit.
What tools are required for installation?
You will need a set of metric hex keys (Allen keys), a torque wrench, and potentially a medium-strength threadlocker.
Will these protect the frame in a high-speed accident?
Frame sliders are designed primarily for stationary drops and low-speed slides. High-speed impacts involve forces that may exceed the design limits of any bolt-on slider.
Troubleshooting
Slider puck is loose or wobbling
Check the central mounting bolt to ensure it is tightened to the specified torque. Apply a small amount of threadlocker if vibration is causing it to back out.
Difficulty aligning the bracket during installation
Do not fully tighten the first bolt before installing the second one; leave them finger-tight until both are threaded to ensure proper alignment.
Slider shows wear after contact
The nylon material is designed to be sacrificial. Inspect the structural integrity of the steel core; if the core is bent, the entire slider assembly must be replaced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Puig 7709N frame slider kit is exclusively compatible with the BMW S1000 XR. Installation is straightforward and does not require specialized tools beyond standard metric hex keys and a torque wrench.
- Ensure the engine is cool before beginning installation.
- Identify the specific frame mounting points indicated in the provided instructions.

- Secure the Puig brackets and slider bodies using the included high-tensile hardware.

To maintain the product, wipe the nylon bodies with a damp cloth after riding. Periodically check the torque on the slider mounting bolts to ensure they haven't loosened due to engine vibration.
