How to install Womet-Tech Frame Sliders on a 2019+ Yamaha YZF-R3 by TST Industries

This is a very good point.

I have been doing it 22 years...it is second nature by now

Trust the masters💪🏼💪🏼

Any hardware store should carry the appropriate size needed.

We do deliver to the UK. Brake reservoir....are you asking because it looks tinted? It is a stock size reservoir. Nothing fancy about it.

It would not be all that easy. The tank cover from the new bike has different fastening method. You would need to also get the tank itself transplanted. Then there is the issue of the new cluster needing slightly different wiring I believe...I am not entirely sure on this but I think this is the case, especially if your old bike ECU part number starts with 2MS and the bike being transplanted from is B02. The front fairing stay is also different between the two bikes and the new cluster mounts to the new one but not readily to the old one. It is all doable, but it is just a matter of how much effort and money you want to put in.

Did you figure it out? I just bought their kit for my 23 and I'm already dreading the process

The drive size should be appropriate for the socket drive size that you are using. The torque range should be such that the torque value needed to achieve is somewhere in the range that the wrench can do.

What are you referring to exactly? Most of the tools in this video can be found at Lowe’s.

@TSTindustries It's all good. The video explains the size I was looking for. I just had to wait further and was skeptical.

We absolutely ship to Australia directly from our website. You should be able to add the desired items into your cart and proceed to checkout with no issues.

This was hypothesized but not tried. At our place we believe in taking off as much unnecessary weight as possible. This inner trim piece had no function so we were ok ditching it. We did look it over carefully and determined that if someone is crafty and diligent they can trim carefully and get that back in there. For us though that's just less weight on the bike to force side to side on turns.

TSTindustries I fully understand that about cutting weight wherever possible! I will most likely just ditch it as you guys did, was just curious how involved it would be to trim the piece since it was mentioned. Thanks for the response! Excited to get my order delivered and add some more of your great products to my ride😎🇺🇸

These things are moving so fast that we are temporarily out of stock. More material due in this week so we can machine more here in the TST headquarters as the main Womet factory gears up to do a really large run of these for us.

We should be able to help you out if you reach out to the support staff through our website.

did it completely protect the bike?

The old version sliders work on the 2019 if you are running race bodywork. Otherwise you are stuck with the kit we came up with specifically for 2019, and best with ditching the internal splitters.

the size is specified in the video

Yes, 2019 and up all fit the same. I think one of our guys changed 2021 to 2022 in the description instead of adding a 2022.

@@TSTindustries Alrighty, thanks a million 🤜🤛

On our website. Link is in the description.

The offset spacer I'm assuming is the limiting factor here

Even if you fit a tire that wide on this bike without rubbing other components you will be destroying the dynamics of the bike. There is a reason that throughout our R3 race program we stuck to 140, 150, and sometimes (although rarely) 160.

TSTindustries thank you for concern I’m gonna do 160 then. Thanks a lot

It is included in the box with the parts

I think you are misinformed about the primary function of frame sliders. They are meant for protecting the vital components of the motorcycle that are very expensive to fix. Picture crashing at 60 miles per hour. Scenario 1...you do not have frame sliders on. You thrash the entire side of the bike, possibly grind down engine cases straight through or they shatter from impact. Then you have debris in your engine, oil all over the surface you crashed on. If that is at the track you just ruined the day for every other participant. Scenario 2...you do have properly designed and mounted frame sliders. The frame slider takes the first impact, absorbs some of the crash energy, and provides a consumable surface for your bike to slide on. You are still damaging a lot of the fairings, controls, etc. because you just sustained a fast crash. The sliders will however cut down on repair time and cost. We have been using this technology for years in our racing efforts and I have not had one crash where having the sliders made the situation worse. In fact proper crash protection components kept me racing more because after a crash we were able to rebuild the bike fast and still make later races. There are some companies that make no cut sliders that protect the bike from static drops and low speed crashes, but they do not perform well in fast crashes. Fast crashes are where you sustain the most damage to the bike so this is the scenario that we design for. I once had a 130mph crash in Daytona fighting for 3rd position in a Supersport1000 race. The bike got pretty mangled but we rebuilt it pretty quick because our crash protection components did their job. We have some videos illustrating some of what I am describing here.

@@TSTindustries yeah i know, maybe my head was just really focus on like streetbike not really focused on the track bike. Anyways nice product man, no hate thats just my opinion. Hope you guys can develop for other bikes aswell around 150cc here in asia.

yes i just installed mine today

Thats cool. Maybe get yourself some engine case sliders so that you dont run the risk of getting debris in motor through cracked cases in a crash. You will sacrifice other components by not having frame sliders but the most expensive component will be protected. We manufacture some. There also are other brand available on the market too.

Thanks!

At this time we do not.

Thank you for this message. Some of those fairings aren't very expensive, but frame sliders' main purpose is not fairing protection. They are supposed to mitigate the extents of damage in a crash progressively. You lay it down in your driveway then yes, they should protect some of the fairings. You crash at any medium+ speed then they will help keep your crank cases from grinding through and letting debris inside the motor, while minimizing damage to some other areas. If you crash at any significant speed they are designed to take and absorb the first impact and help to start the slide on a consumable surface, then crack off to not propagate crash forces into the frame. This formula for our design is derived from many years of product development along with on and off track testing. I am glad that you are taking a jump over to our components. I have one favor to ask. We are trying to keep our content and comments clean for all kinds of people to enjoy. Would you please edit your comment and take out the bad language? Thanks.

@@TSTindustries done, do you know when you get the street ones back in stock? I mean yeah the plastic is a lot cheaper than I thought for sure was 120 for the fairing at the turn signal and both tank plastics. Thought it'd be more

😂 one of the best comments by far. Now he's pissed because he realized it's true. 🤣

Thanks for the love!

Word!

:)

Sorry bud, we do not have a Malay translator

Frame sliders are not meant for protecting fairings. I guess you've never crashed a bike hard.

TSTindustries Really appreciate for your reply. I really hope that day won’t come lol, but for now frame slider without drilling procedures is my first choice

New fairings aren’t expensive

Ununxium i second that. Found out today replacements are like $27 each with free shipping!! For matte black. Bikerboyz for life.

Ununxium so why don’t we just save our money on fairing instead of crash protector lol

Okay.

They're called frame sliders not fairing sliders. Plastics are cheap and replaceable but your engine components and frame are not so easily replaced. With this item mounted your bike will be able to have something absorb some energy from impact and because they are delving they will get ground down at a slow rate but dissipate the energy. Think whipping a tennis ball at a fat person's stomach vs a skinny person's stomach. Who gets hurt more. The one without the fat. This is an absorbance product. No disrespect but you need to do a little more Google homework
