+3

 

get the hammer out and bang that bitch straight then take the bolts out

as long as the motor an frame is good the cage did its job

 

Going to agree with the others that said the bolts weren't tight enough. I've pancaked my SI cage numerous times and it has nothing but some scarring to show for it, still straight. Gotta torque **** down properly, hell my A-town subframe came loose a couple weeks back because i didn't torque it down enough and tapped it a couple of times(not the time I tweaked it for you guys aware of that). A2k said he about gave himself a hernia torquing it down, so I went back and did the same. All was bueno. My cage has come loose a few times, only on the all thread bolt though that passes through the frame, been good about checking that one.

 

lol i like the Atown promo goin on here what a time to take advantage of a sales oppertunity

 

same thing happened to me on my 636, i went with atown. i had a 08 600rr and si cage was ******* steel tho.

 

u didnt use a 4ft breaker bar... lol. I stripped a nut on the backside of the motor with a ratchet. Nice thing about kawis u can just put a new nut in. But yeah, if u have a 4ft breaker bar anywhere near your bike put down the tools and walk away...

 

lmao i was thinking the same thing!!! and id like to see the "slow" crash to bend a sick cage like this

 

+3 on the breaker bar!!! my buddy had the old desighn on the f4ez and it has taken a solid year of abuse...he was learning 0's too, i just put that bike back to street and the cage is still money!!! as a matter of fact its for sale....lol

 

 

the old si crash cage design for the 636 was very weak i have seen them bend with the bolts tight from very easy drops but the new design looks like it fixed all the problems of the old design so it is very possible he had all the bolts tight but with that being said alot of cages will loosen up after a hard hit , easy thing to do is too bang on your cage a few times with your hand after a crash to see if it rattles , i bang on my own cage every night before i ride just to make sure it's tight

 

ya and im sure 636 and f4i are dif. but i was just sayin....

 

the f4i si crash cage is diesel

 

i concur
