His Aprilia MotoGP bike decided it sucked so bad that it didn't want to live anymore and took its own life... with him on it.

the pix on this site looks like they held up good but i love their warning.

"WARNING!!! BY REMOVING THIS LABEL AND USING THE TRAXXION DYNAMICS R-6 GAS TANK SLIDER, YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE POSSIBILIY ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY EXISTS THAT YOUR BIKE WILL CRASH, BURST INTO FLAMES, BURN TO THE GROUND, SOAK YOU WITH FUEL, LIGHT YOU ON FIRE, AND BURN YOU UNTIL YOU ARE DEAD. "

In the first video... i would have put that fire out in about 30 seconds... jackasses didn't know how to use a damn fire ext. Especially with a wing man and 2nd fire ext. FUCKIN JACKASSES!!!

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:

fuck even with those sliders looks like the tank is toast!

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.

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... :idk:
