Powers Subcage rubbing on tire?
I just installed a subcage not too long ago and sometimes the tire rubs on the top bar and when I do 2 up wheelies with my girlfriend it's a lot worst. This is garbage.
Is there a way I can change my rear suspension setup? or I just have to suck it up?
Is it best to stunt with a hard suspension or soft? I have a F4i and the spring is at 7 I believe and the other setting I'm not sure but maybe I should set it to harder?

pretty sure all subcages have that problem with rubbing on F4I's except OMR's
dont think there is really a fix out there with stock suspension, or atleast i havent heard of one

- The 03-06 CBR 600RR , 03-05 Yamaha R6 ,03 04 gsxr 1000 and the f4i pegs are lowered and moved back and out for better peg position! !
- The 01-03 GSXR 600 and 750 have the pegs moved out two inches because of the big tail section
- THE 07 600RR pegs are located 2-1/2 inches lower and 3 inches wider (Than stock)
- All other omr subframe cage models are in the stock location except they are rotated on their axis so they don't fold up unless you fold them up, this also puts your foot on the grippy part of the peg during a wheelie.
- omr subcages are available for all makes and models but only the ones listed above are available for shipping

Word up. My OMR dont rub. That sucks though. You should call them and complain and see if they'll do anything for you in the future on a redesigned model

Re: Powers Subcage rubbing on tire?
Yeah if I wouldve known OMR did subcages before I ordered mine I would've got his but I paid a good amount and waited a super long time for the Powers I don't have a choice to keep this one. As far as calling them I'm not sure if it's worth it as I know they don't care about their customers if they don't care about sending you a product in a timely manner. I will tighten my suspension to the hardest then back it off a notch and see what that does.

na im running sick innovations sub cage and have NEVER had a problem with it rubbing. i weigh 220 pounds and run my **** as stiff as i can get it. your rear shock is probably to soft. dial it in stiffer and your problem should go away. either that or make your gurl loose some weight lol. j/k but seriously SI subcages are diesel!!
