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

[@kushpaladin]

the paint on that R3 is utterly beautiful. i can see why you installed frame sliders!!!!

[@johnkennethdelpilar2201]

Me: those poor clean fairings Thanos: a small sacrifice to pay for salvation

[@petergeanacopulos5327]

You win the internet today

[@Fred-eg9sx]

I found easier to screw on the puck after I install the fairings, because to fairing requires a sliding back action, which kind of gets imposed by the puck if it was already installed.

[@TSTindustries]

This is a very good point.

[@PinoyPHOTOSHOPArtsTV]

Great video! Amazing installment tutorial! Hope you guys will have more of 2020+ Yamaha R3

[@Gianipilotlife]

The drilling part hurts my eyes

[@TSTindustries]

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

[@johndypot]

Trust the masters💪🏼💪🏼

[@petergeanacopulos5327]

Reading all the comments. Ignorance truly is bliss.

[@ZVManning]

Doing mine this Friday, lezgo. Not looking forward to the fairing being taken off process idk why. That worries me more than cutting tbh lol EDIT: I was hella confused until I took that accessory piece off that you were talking about. I was like where the heck do I put this friggin drawing at

[@dwightkurtschruteiii4491]

What is the socket piece used to torque down the sliders

[@kinzdeekinz2641]

Hi awesome videos 2 questions. Do you delivery to the UK and Whats that brake liquid container you have on the bike ?

[@TSTindustries]

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.

[@dwightkurtschruteiii4491]

What size torque wrench do I need. Never had one. Do I need an attachment aswell?

[@TSTindustries]

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.

[@staysharp_productions]

Do you guys just have single replacements. I low sided and only one of these are chewed up. I have the 2017 R6. Thank you. Great looking and worked amazing too.

[@TSTindustries]

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

[@DailYxDosE]

did it completely protect the bike?

[@hullkid23]

Great video once again! Just ordered these up today. In this vid you mention removing the plastic vent looking piece due to a little interference but also stated it was possible to trim/cut that same insert piece if you wanted to keep it. In the case that you would like to keep the piece installed how much of the insert is needed to be removed to have it all fit nicely? Any chance you tested it and maybe have a picture of the insert after trimming/cutting? Thanks in advance!! Love your products, keep up the great work!

[@TSTindustries]

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.

[@hullkid23]

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😎🇺🇸

[@TSTindustries]

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.

[@kuletz171]

where can I get the tool , the drill bit to make a hole?

[@TSTindustries]

Any hardware store should carry the appropriate size needed.

[@kolbhk2]

Small size, do they carry that at lowes...

[@TSTindustries]

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

[@kolbhk2]

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

[@luistorresmalafaya2864]

Hermosa moto..

[@TSTindustries]

Thanks!

[@J117-x7l]

What size is the cylinder cutting tool?

[@TSTindustries]

the size is specified in the video

[@dwightkurtschruteiii4491]

I for the life of me can’t unscrew the shoulder bolt at 5:20. I have a 2023 it looks as if there’s a washer on the back but I can’t get in there even if there was

[@BonnieBeatsMusic]

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

[@johnpoe5569]

hey TST not to be a jerk but the service manual call out 49 ft-lbs for that engine mounting bolt... might wanna update the video. cheers

[@petergeanacopulos5327]

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

[@nirajtanti8618]

So here's a slight out of context query. Plz plz respond. Here in India we have 2015 model and not the latest one, so my question is, can I install fairings, new gas tank cover (over the old tank) , black plastic plate that connects from below the seat to the fairings, entireheadlight set including the instrument cluster of the the new R3, 2019 model on to the old 2015 model R3? (Considering the fact that the frame of both the models are same and the new fairings are new just from headlights to the mid of the bike and not all over to the tail section)

[@TSTindustries]

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.

[@Marky_01]

Hi! I was wondering if the old version sliders would work on the 2019 model provided that the internal splitter ( as mentioned at 8:02 ) was removed? And also, would it work on the 2019 model without those brackets? ( as mentioned at 16:40 )

[@TSTindustries]

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.

[@tonyhamilton7785]

Are these compatible with the 2021 R3? It says in the description 2019/2020/2022.

[@TSTindustries]

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.

[@tonyhamilton7785]

@@TSTindustries Alrighty, thanks a million 🤜🤛

[@brycearmstrong1398]

Do you guys deliver to Australia? Cause I tried to order the frame sliders but it’s not letting me purchase it and is there any differences in America bike parts to Australia ones?

[@TSTindustries]

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.

[@antoniocordero9441]

Hi, where can I order that kind of slider? thanks.

[@TSTindustries]

On our website. Link is in the description.

[@laurawelk1112]

Where do I get the template?

[@TSTindustries]

It is included in the box with the parts

[@st.ashhole4192]

welp that solves that.. never doing this

[@TSTindustries]

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.

[@mcarlieghespejo8539]

Is this works on r3 2024?

[@luis7929]

yes i just installed mine today

[@rayyanoong]

do you ship to Philippines?

[@TSTindustries]

At this time we do not.

[@johndypot]

Hello. It its ok to change the rear tire 140 to 170 or 190??

[@TSTindustries]

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.

[@johndypot]

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

[@ZVManning]

think my dealer bough the yamaha ones that go on the crank shaft, kinda mad. So i'll take the $$ hit and buy these cause these wont rip my case off if i fall and aren't some plastic yamaha. the r3 def has no options but you guys seem to make a lot of stuff for the new r3s which is nice. I actually dropped mine 3weeks into owning it and scuffed the fairing you are taking off for this job bought a new one apparently only 25$ lol.

[@TSTindustries]

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.

[@ZVManning]

@@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

[@tonyhamilton7785]

Just got them installed. Be careful prying parts off of the bike because when the fairings pops off, the small metal pieces can fly off

will 2014 yamaha r3 frame slider still fit in 2019 yamaha r3?

[@camj3557]

Off topic...but since I've been watching alot of TST videos, doesn't Brian look exactly like TJ MIller (Silicon Valley)?? Definitely could pass for his younger brother.

[@FullThrotle04]

Isnt the point of having a slider is to protect the fairings and frame? Why would you drill onto it? Just my opinion.

[@TSTindustries]

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.

[@TSTindustries]

Word!

[@MoodSwingZX]

Crashtest please ;)

[@roylam20]

I'm a fan of tst's products but not this one actually, to speak true i aint gonna break my original fairing to have more "protect"

[@TSTindustries]

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

[@roylam20]

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

[@ununxium8874]

New fairings aren’t expensive

[@yellowrice1453]

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

[@roylam20]

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

[@Geerayya_Hokage]

If you have put the Malay language subtitles, easy for people like me understand any explanation from you 😅 . Sorry..

[@TSTindustries]

Sorry bud, we do not have a Malay translator

[@MoodSwingZX]

Oh they will bend and destroy the fairings xD

[@TSTindustries]

Okay.

[@petergeanacopulos5327]

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
