Extension with 3/8sq (9.5mm) insertion angle is required for tightening
This is an impression after several years of use.
It seems to have a lot to do with the area around the handlebar, such as the hand guard, but in the case of Off-road/MOTARD vehicles, the front axle area does not seem to get much large impact in the first place even if the vehicle falls over.
Steady? Overturned? Rolled over? The Axle of Hand guard and Rear seems to be in contact with the ground.
However, at the moment of the fall, the front area seems to be damaged because the top and bottom are reversed or the Handlebar is flexed, and the SIDE of the front caliper has been shaved depending on the car model.
The weight of the car seems to have something to do with it.
This Parts will protect you from such troubles.
After the installation of the front and rear Sliders, there are almost no more parts to break even if you fall.
From the wear on the Slider, it seems to be doing its job well.
The OEM Axle Shaft is retained and the Right Side is Material.:The Rubber Anchor bolt is inserted and secured, and the Left Side is replaced with an OEM AxelNut.
I was worried that it would come off when I fell over because the fixing strength of the Right Side is structurally weak, but as I mentioned before, the impact of falling over is not large because it is the Front part, and it has never come off until now.
To tighten the Left Side, you will need an extension about 50mm long with a 9.5mm insertion angle.
If it is thickened by taper or has a protrusion in the middle, it may not be able to pass through the round hole of Slider.
Because I didn't have a long extension that could meet the above conditions and withstand high torque, I had been tightening it by hand with my Twrench for a long time.
Even so, I had to tighten it to the fullest extent, so when I loosened it, it was quite hard and I had a hard time every time.
It's an aside, but when you tighten it in this way, it becomes a sticking point or when you loosen it. "Crunchy. I cleaned it and applied WAKOS Thread compound to it, and it improved.
However, the other day I was riding at about 80km/h on a paved road, and the chattering from the front was so bad that I couldn't ride it very well.
If I was not good enough, I would have fallen over.
Because it was easy to judge that it was insufficient tightening of the front axle nut, I finally bought Extension for Impact made by Koken, and tightened it with proper Torque by using Torque wrench.
Tightening Torque is 90N.
After a trial run, the Chattering was well and truly resolved.
It is an important part, so you should prepare the tightening tool well when you buy this Slider.
