Read a few places only go to the factory torque specs. But on my bike(99 F4) thats 29ft/lbs and it doesnt even seem like it pulls the cage down tight to the bike on the rear portion of the cage(a-town cage). Do you guys go a little tighter? I can understand the the (front)engine mount bolts cuz they probably thread into aluminum, but the rears just tighten with a nut on the other side to the subframe. Just worried cuz Ive heard lots about a loose cage leading to a cracked frame.

Thanks much!

I dunno, but the lower two sub bolts are the ones that usualy give the trouble.. Well they did me when learnin to tap or drag the bar. I tighten all mine real tight untill a creak is heard n no more.. I have atown on my f4i. Tank status.

I keep everything really snug... as much as it takes to get it all bottomed out should
be good.

on my cage i dont do torque specs i just tighten it till i cant any more, and after about three hard hits i need to tighten them. just food for thought, no matter how tight you get the bolts you should check them daily on your cage.

this is true but be sure not to over tighten them as they may bind or strip...

idk how a towns are but on my old powers on my srad id have to tighten the bolts down weekly. on my Impak ive yet to do anything to the bolts,they stay nice an snug but i do use thread-lock, other then the lower bar to do oil changes i guess..
