thats the bottom bolt you see when the axle if off right??? Its like a big hex hole? Maybe 8 or 10 metric allen tool? Or bigger, something like that.

 

no sir, thats for your fork internals (it holds your damper) what your thinking about is a tiny little allen screw (like on scotts mount kits) that locks the shiny fork tube into the cast part.. its on the inside of your fork (faceing your rim) just under the shinny fork tube part.

 

So how do you go about tighten it up?? any special tools. Can you just take the front wheel off and tighten it up??

 

All i can say is on my wrecked bike i flipped a stoppie at almost the top of 2nd Flipped in the air hit the ground and flipped some more.
Well i have the same cage on my new bike.
You can ask joe vert,gary,or ***** about the wreck they all saw it.
cage is still holding up strong!

 

Here are a few pixx hope they help.

 

And you checked your bikes for cracks??? Even underneath in the front. I noticed that they start directly underneath (cant see it in my first pic) the frame so you gotta look close.

damn your bike is clean!!! Are those stock clip ons?? Have you tried them on top??

Thanks for the pics....SI cage looks like it wont hit your shins as much unlike 905.

 

Doesnt hit your shins at all

 

The differnence is that all the mounts on the right side are adjustable, they thread in and push the motor to the left makin it a tight fit....If you over tighten the 2 rear adjusters its not that bad because the back of the frame is boxed in and very rigid, but if you over tighten the front top mount you put alot of flex and stress on the front section of your frame...You can actually see and hear the frame flexing as you over tighten that front upper adjuster...If you think about it youll realize that the pressure from over tightening that adjuster puts force on the spars and engine mounts, you are basically spreading it open wider then its supposed to be.....Then they crack right around the engine mounts on either spar...

FYI the adjusters are only supposed to be 14 ft/lbs tight (Thats basically hand tight!) and the mounting bolt itself more then double that at 33 lbs

 

Where are the rear adjusters located?

 

debo look at the space between your top right motor mount and the frame, theres a gray ajuster between it. your engine mount bolt goes through the ajuster

 

ajuster bolts are

 

I neglected my forkseals and it fucked up the bottom.. It'd leak really bad afte ri had the forkseals replaced... Made a river of oil in my truck all the time.. So i'd get on that if I were you or you'll be buying new forks like i did
