Nota Keselamatan Penting: Installation should be performed by a competent individual with appropriate tools. Ensure the motorcycle is stable and secure before beginning any work. Refer to your motorcycle's service manual for specific torque settings for axle nuts.

1. Sediakan Motosikal: Park the motorcycle on a level surface using a paddock stand or center stand to lift the rear wheel, if necessary, to allow access to the rear axle.
2. Inspect Existing Axle: Locate the rear axle nut. Some Kawasaki models may have a cotter pin fitted through the axle nut.
3. Cotter Pin Handling (if applicable):
   • If a cotter pin is present, it mesti dikeluarkan to allow for the installation of the spindle slider.
   • Alternatively, the original cotter pin can be cut down so that it remains in the nut but fits inside the slider housing. The slider housing will then prevent it from coming out.
4. Assemble the Spindle Sliders: The kit comprises two nylon bobbins, two anodized aluminum spacers, a stainless steel spindle, nuts, and washers. Assemble these components as shown in Figure 1, ensuring the spacers are correctly positioned between the bobbins and the spindle ends.
5. Masukkan Spindle: Carefully slide the assembled spindle through the rear axle of your motorcycle. Ensure it passes cleanly through the axle and any existing components.
6. Secure the Sliders: Once the spindle is in place, secure the bobbins and spacers on both sides using the provided nuts and washers. Tighten the nuts evenly until the sliders are firmly secured, but do not overtighten. Refer to your motorcycle's service manual for the correct torque specification for the rear axle nut, if applicable, or ensure the spindle slider nuts are sufficiently tight to prevent movement.
7. Semakan Akhir: After installation, ensure all components are securely fastened and there is no interference with other motorcycle parts (e.g., chain, brake caliper).

4. Operasi

• Periksa Pengikat: Ensure the nuts securing the sliders remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary, but avoid overtightening.
• Pembersihan: Clean the sliders with mild soap and water to remove dirt and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the nylon or anodized finishes.
• Post-Impact: If the sliders have been involved in an impact, inspect them thoroughly. Even if they appear intact, internal damage may have occurred. Consider replacing them to ensure continued protection.

6. Penyelesaian masalah

• Sliders Do Not Fit:
  • Verify that your motorcycle model and year match the compatibility listed (Kawasaki Z650 & Ninja 650, 2017 onwards).
  • Ensure any existing cotter pin on the axle nut has been properly addressed (removed or trimmed).
  • Double-check the assembly of the spindle, spacers, and bobbins.
• Sliders Are Loose After Installation:
  • Ensure the nuts are tightened securely. Re-tighten if necessary, checking periodically.
  • Verify that all components (spacers, washers) are correctly installed and not missing.
• Damage After Minor Impact:
  • While designed for impact, severe impacts can cause damage. Inspect for cracks or deformation. Replace damaged components immediately.
  • The rotating bobbin design helps dissipate energy, but it does not guarantee zero damage in all scenarios.
