lol!!! Yeah Acid drop from the backseat gone bad.. no grip tape and he slid off... cage creased it head on at about 40 ish.. the subcage peg hit it too.. bent that bolt but didn't damage the bike at all. Amazing!!
Don't get me wrong his cage looks like it's been through Iraq, but the bike hasn't suffered much damage, one broke peg and one swingarm nut broken that I can remember

 

you said "nut"

 

Why? Do you enjoy splintered shins??

 

maybe FI is only for pros?

and guys who drop their bikes once in awhile and lightly when they do

 

dropped my 06 600rr with an FI cage at about 40mph. actually it did a highside pancake after a coaster gone wrong and the cage held up perfectly. the only problems with the FI cages are the people who installl them

 

Exactly.....they are show cages meaning they don't really protect anything....just look like they do....i need a cage that can be beat harder than any other cage....thats why 905 is the best.....ive never hit my shins.....but since i wear protect gear like shinpads...i guess that really doesn't matter......put an F I cage on your 636.....good luck getting those case covers...

 

if you install a FI cage properly and keep up with is, just make sure its tight you are good to go...my 2 worse wrecks to date came this year and nothing at all happened cuz i keep my new cage tight...

snapped my forks at about 50 or so bike flipped about at least 3 times and nothing happened....my FI cage help up perfect.

stuntwars 07 went down at about 60-65 during stoppie practice bike flippped at least 3-4 times was 2-3 ffeet in the air and nothing happened....cause the cage was tight and kept up with....


i have been lazy in the past and ridden with a loose cage and have craked a few stator covers....so stop being lazy tighten the FI cage and ur golden..

these are sum pix from my crash at struntwars that m FI cage held up to

 

bullshit! i would always tighten my fi cage before i rode and i still ended up buying a stator, and cover because the damn cage flexed into the bike. not to mention i was always replacing the bolts because they bend easy. and i always get the front wheel to the ground before the bike falls. i dont know, i guess some are stronger than others, but mine was garbage! . ya i like the fi for its look and size, but its not strong. i have had an si on my 636 all year and nothing is stronger.

 

damn dude that sux...I flipped my F4I and broke the axle and bent the forks..but nothing protected by the FI cage got fucked up...but I believe that different cages work better in different bikes

 

My bike is the one that smacked the fire hydrant at around 40, and my SI cage took the entire force of the hit. When I was first learning with a 12 bar, I dropped the bike straight from 12 several times, and nothing ever broke except half a peg once. The bike fell off the tailgate of the truck once and didnt even scratch the new paint on the tail or tank. My cage looks like its been through a war, but it is still holding strong.

I think a FI might work if you arent dropping the bike hard, but I dunno. I have seen FI cages bend in and break stator covers multiple times.

 

I will give you that.. FI cages do work great on F4i's.. actually the only bike I've seen them work great on...

 

PROOF, Compton doesnt take it easy on this cage lol



+1 FI was my second choice for a cage, but I LOVE my SI cage....

 

Second pic looks like he was trying to merk a circle... lol!!

 

whats with his exhaust in the first pic

 

wtf is with the exhaust haa

I was on the boarder weater FI or SI and from reading i think im going SI

 

ps 905 isnt all that they are made up to be. I have them on two different bikes and they both cracked....and they are shin splitters if you dont wear shin guards

 

Exhaust came loose and caught the ground in a wheelie and spun around like that

 

yeah i used to have FI on suzukis ...suckballs...it breaks yer stator all the phuckin times.

 

Dude I wouldn't bother with F.i on 636 they'll break case covers still unless you have after market.... Get a S.I

 

+1 except I seen one rip the whole motor mount out
