Track Prep: OEM Triumph Street Triple RS Frame Slider Install

[@Dius765RS]

Hey Shawn, just wanted to say thank you for making this video. I have a 2017 Street Triple RS in silver, like yours, that I bought this summer. I just contacted Triumph UK to see how much for the OEM frame sliders and fitting would be. Cost for the parts can't be avoided at £124... However Triumph UK wanted £80 or $105 for fitting... each bolt was gonna cost me £20 ROFL, outrageous right... I said not unless you buy me dinner. And that I would fit these myself. 20 second search on the old interwebz brought me to your video. So thank you for the help in advance. You saved me both £80 and my dignity hahaha...

Glad it helped!

the frame sliders, mudguard and engine cover are a must have in this bike

Why is mudguard a must have?

Just used this vid to fit my frame sliders from Triumph. Really helped

[@cantwheelie_rob]

🙌🏼..... one more awesome example of bikes taking all of your money. Frame sliders always a good investment. Good vid!

[@TheDriversPerspective]

Thanks! This one is slowly taking more and more...and I'm ok with it!

[@303MoTo]

First thing I did to my RS was to throw these on. Good vid!

I used a ratchet set similar to this to get to the nuts up in behind the casing. www.jegs.com/i/OEMTOOLS/693/22060/10002/-1?CAWELAID=230006180040255128&CAGPSPN=pla&CAAGID=

Thanks! That ratchet set would have been perfect.

Thank you for the very informative installation videos. My only comment would be that the video cam on your head, although providing a view of what you are seeing, creates too much movement and it is hard to follow what you are doing, and also makes me kind of dizzy. Just a thought. Thanks again for doing the video. I am putting a set of OEM frame sliders on this weekend on my 2020 Street Triple and am using your video and the instructions to do the install.

Very clear vid Shawn v helpful. How was your RS on the track ? It has no steering damper (I think) I've had big problems on track on striples without dampers.

Hi Shawn, great video. What's the website link to download the instructions to fit street triple genuine accessories. As you would know, each accessory doesn't come with instructions

[@TheDriversPerspective]

I tried searching for these again and had some trouble finding them. Your dealer should be able to print these for you.

[@Kevin-vg5uw]

Im not sure it was anti seize prob some lock tight, best to use is blue lock tight, doesn't lock to hard and it good for things like bikes that vibrate alot, get a torgue wrench, and 2s a year check everything is done up right, cause they don't do this at service etc

[@TheDriversPerspective]

Perhaps, I'll add this to my check list. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the clip! Nice tank grip. Like the compact size and pattern. Do you happen to have the name or link? I'd appreciate it.. thx

[@sashap8658]

Great video! You mention that if its mot done in a speeder the engine can shift. My question is what is the order and how do I avoid the engine from shifting?

[@TheDriversPerspective]

Just do one bolt at a time and you will be fine.

[@FrankyJr]

Very nice video, thx! Can anyone tell me the size of the central torx nut please?

[@nutty_assasin7718]

T50

[@FrankyJr]

@@nutty_assasin7718 Thanks! I just ended up calling my mechanic :)

[@sniperhobbit]

What size head did you use on the torq wrench?

[@binhvong5297]

40 Nm? I've seen 80Nm in the specs. I'm confused.

[@masterpolir6145]

With what torque should the screws be tightened?

[@JPNOLAN720]

48nm

[@mikem4371]

Do they actually stick out past the Tank?

[@TheDriversPerspective]

Not really, I'd recommend the tank guards if you are worried. R&G carbon comes to mind.

[@mikem4371]

@@TheDriversPerspective Thanks!

[@tg8150]

These don’t look like they’ll really protect anything in a slide. They don’t stick out far enough to protect anything. Am I not seeing something?🤷🏻‍♂️ Also, what’s an “oblong” nut?😄

[@TheDriversPerspective]

They do stick out just past the gas tank but not much more than that. The oblong nut is just a lock nut.

[@FithTajalie]

hi r u using torx bit? what’s the size?

[@TheDriversPerspective]

I am, I would need to check the manual but it was on the bigger side of things.

[@tg8150]

It’s 50mm btw.
