bottoming out w/ cages

I put a FI cage on my bike. I do alot of stoppies, and I've been trying one handed lately. Well the bike hits hard sometimes and it hits the cage. Anybody else have this problem or know of a fix?? FI cage rocks though!!

my FI cage hits my ramp when I load it in my truck that's it. Maybe check your suspension settings

Or, If you are just slamming it down, that could pose problems also.

thats the real prob right there. you gotta ease off the front brake and bring it down smooth. you are probly coming to a stop with your back wheel in the air & just letting it fall down

Re: bottoming out w/ cages

my 905 doesn't scrape. goes through the bike rather than underneath. I dunno though, my cage makes my bike roll and destroys my upper and faring stay. It's really annoying.

I need a metal front end!

powers any good? i've heard a lot about them.

Re: bottoming out w/ cages

Tighten up the spring preload a bit...that will help. Also, like it was said...ease off the brake and let the backend down easier. I have no probs with my FI cage.
