Passos generals d'instal·lació:
- Preparació de la motocicleta: Park the motorcycle on a level, stable surface. Use a motorcycle stand or lift to securely support the bike. Ensure the engine is cool.
- Identificar els punts de muntatge: Locate the designated mounting points on your motorcycle's frame. These are typically engine mount bolts or specific frame points designed for accessories. Refer to your motorcycle's service manual for precise locations and torque specifications.
- Remove Existing Bolts (if necessary): Carefully remove the original engine mount bolts or other fasteners from the identified mounting points. Work on one side at a time to maintain engine stability.
- Install Frame Slider Hardware: Insert the new, longer bolts provided with the Puig frame sliders through the frame slider body and any necessary spacers or washers. Apply a small amount of medium-strength thread-locking compound to the bolt threads.
- Mount the Frame Slider: Align the frame slider and its hardware with the mounting point on the motorcycle frame. Hand-tighten the bolt initially.

En funcionament
Puig Pro 2.0 Frame Sliders are passive safety devices. Once correctly installed, they operate by providing a sacrificial point of contact with the ground in the event of a motorcycle slide or fall. They are designed to absorb impact energy and help prevent direct contact between the motorcycle's frame, engine, and fairings with the road surface, thereby reducing potential damage.
No active operation or user interaction is required for the frame sliders to function.
Manteniment
To ensure the continued effectiveness and safety of your Puig frame sliders, regular maintenance is recommended:
- Inspecció periòdica: Periodically check the frame sliders for any signs of damage, cracks, or wear. Inspect the mounting bolts to ensure they are still tight and secure.
- Neteja: Clean the frame sliders with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
- Post-Incident Check: If your motorcycle has been involved in a fall or slide, even a minor one, thoroughly inspect the frame sliders for damage. If they show any signs of impact or deformation, they should be replaced immediately, as their protective integrity may be compromised.
Resolució de problemes
While frame sliders are relatively simple components, here are some common issues and their resolutions:
| Problema | Causa possible | Resolució |
|---|---|---|
| Frame slider feels loose | Mounting bolt has loosened over time. | Carefully re-torque the mounting bolt to the manufacturer's specified torque. If it continues to loosen, consider reapplying thread-locking compound. |
| Visible damage to slider body after a minor tip-over | Slider performed its function by absorbing impact. | Replace the damaged frame slider immediately. Its ability to protect in future incidents may be compromised. |
| Dificultat d'instal·lació | Incorrect alignment, wrong hardware, or lack of proper tools/knowledge. | Double-check instructions and motorcycle service manual. Ensure correct hardware is used. If issues persist, seek professional installation. |
