R6 sub-frame problem
R6 sub-frame problem
it's an 02 R6 and the sub-frame bolts(especially the lower ones)keep coming loose
I'm not even tapping the tail, just doing slow standups. I have to stop and tighten them after about a half hour of riding...any solutions outthere? post up...thanks

get 4 subframe bolts off of an f4i. they are longer and have nuts on the back so they stay tight much longer. i broke three of the stock bolts becuz they kept comin lose then i would hit the bar and they would snap, the f4i ones work mint

True dat!! Unless you want to waste your money at the honda shop just so u can say u have F4i bolts!!!
Re: R6 sub-frame problem
this is why I posted this question...weird frame angle
I'm just thinking the nut should be flush against the frame on the inside. guess it doesn't matter. just picked up some longer bolts and nuts and gonna tigh it as far as it goes. check out the pic...guess everyone's doing the same???
