cage was already on, never dropped still brand new. took it off to do some work and now the left side wont go back on.

the left side has the spacers and the bolt wont thread in, its like the bolt is to short i' ve tried everything. i cant even find a longer one at the hardware store. anyone else have this problem.

 

It can't be too long if its the same bolt......its probly just a few milimeters out of alignment. Keep working at it, they are a tight fit.

 

one side is ushually longer than the other... di you put the long bolt in the wrong side? and dont wrench anything down until all of the bolts are in

 

loosen it back up, hang everything and get bolts started, then tighten down in increments on both sides.

 

Sick Innovations Cage Install

There are several steps to installing your cage.

Please follow these steps carefully.

TOOLS NEEDED

3/8 drive ratchet, extension and 9/16 socket

¼ drive ratchet, extension, and 9/16 socket

8mm Allen socket or T-Handle

For starters, open your hardware kit and identify all of the bolts.

Two Allen bolts for the front mounts. One gold bolt and nut for the lower mount. One long bolt for the rear, and two spacers which are for the left side of the cage at the front and rear engine mounts. Take the two spacers and slide them into the frame on the left side at the front and rear engine mounts. Next you will take one of your Allen bolts and slide it through the front mount of the cage. Take your long rear engine mount bolt and leave one of the nuts on it. Slide it through the rear engine mount first until the front mount bolt can be threaded in. Do NOT snug up the front engine mount bolt yet. Make sure that the rear mount bolt is sticking out of the frame on the other side. Next take your other Allen bolt and run it through the front mount on the right side. Get the rear mount bolt through the mount first and turn the nut down a few turns. Do NOT snug it up yet. Now turn the front engine mount bolt in a few turns. Next you will install the lower gold bolt and nut into the lower mount connecting the two sides. Now you will tighten these up. Then go to the rear mount and tighten it up with the 1/4in drive ratchet and socket. Lastly tighten the front motor mount bolts up and you are finished.

 

take the WHOLE thing off... then remount it. if its never been dropped, that means that its still 100% straight

 

think you have problems..... I gotta lay my bike on one side and have someone stand on the "U" bar (FI cage) while I beat the bottom of it into the sliders.


******* rubbish!
