The warning is funny, it's really just so they don't get sued.

Yeah the sliders hold up well, here's a photo from a pretty nasty crash and they saved the bike:

No, the sliders prevented the tank from becoming toast, literally.

Serious question,does the tank stick out extra far on the R6 or something? My bike has low sided twice and high sided once and the tank was never touched.

Gas Man · 05-09-2008, 07:53 PM

Tigger.. I think that is exactly the problem.

Hmmmmm...maybe a narrower tank for racing purposes? Don't tell me,they sell one and I'm WAY behind as always.....

yeah but that tank can't be used again... the inside coating that keeps it from rusting i guarantee is cracked and will flake...

but yeah the pucks help save your bike but I'm just saying it's a design flaw from Yami... basically a bad down and your bike is a moltov cocktail... or buy these pucks and you'll still have to get a new tank...
