took off my FI cage on my f4i and was goin to replace it with my new SI cage and i find that the bolt that goes through the top of the cage into the motor mount is stripped any suggestions.... i figured i could prolly try and tap it

 

thats what i would do but if it's too screwed up you may need to drill it out to the next size up and tap it

 

sweet ill try it... it feels like i work on my bike more than i ride it....

 

just be careful because if i remember correctly there is a hump at the back of the motor mount on the f4i and if you go in too far with the tap it will snap off then you are in for some fun..lol

 

welcome to the world of helicoil.

 

helicoil is best, you can tap it one size bigger though, gotta drill the cage hole bigger also

 

hell yea thanks for the help i love fixin someone elses **** up

 

use a time-sert, works way better than a heli-coil, one of those and a bit of loc-tite, your good to go!

 

where can i get one
