Title Self Explanatory. I'm buying a new bike in the coming months and I'm wondering if I should just buy the sliders that Yamaha has already!?!?
Are Yamaha's Factory Frame Slider any good?BamBam007 09-16-2005, 09:54 AM Title Self Explanatory.

BamBam007 09-16-2005, 10:00 AM Ok, I just saw that the fram sliders that Yamaha.com has are GYT-5VY33-00-BK. So, anybody prefer these? Tkline 11-27-2005, 06:24 PM I just crashed on the street with yamaha frame sliders. Was going about 30 on a cold day making a turn when the rear tire broke loose and before I could react I high sided. The damage would have been substantially worse without the sliders, but it was more than I would have expected. The sliders wore down enough while the bike was sliding that it just got into my lower fairing and engine case. I'm guessing that with a harder slider (aluminum perhaps (?)) that wouldn't have worn so much, I would have walked away with almost no damage. 05yamahahaha 11-27-2005, 06:29 PM From what I've heard, the problem with harder-metal for example, sliders is that they can dig into the pavement causing the bike to flip. It's a tradeoff. My 2 cents. yamahafsr 11-29-2005, 10:49 PM the Yamaha GYTR sliders are made by Graves Motorsports. Great Product by a great manufacture. | |
