if your doing stoppies and other tricks i would go for a cage on it, but i wouldnt stunt on a new bike anyways (you brought up endos). Usually a stunter will have two bikes, a clean one and their POS that has been f*** up more then my ex..

justalways wear protection haha (frame sliders) but get a f4i if you want to stunt around because if your scared of a couple of screwed up drill holes from your frame sliders in your new bike, if you accidently drop it in an endo it will do some damage no matter what.
but still buy and install the sliders (buy the non-cut sliders if your scared of drilling) on your bike..

 

all i know is when I first learned how to ride a bike, I dropped it like 10 times in the first month. frame sliders can work wonders. I dropped them all mainly at stops because I lost my footing.

Only thing bad I heard is if the slider is hit hard enough, it'll bend and damage the engine bay or something.

 

can you buy no cut frame sliders for an 06 f4i i have been looking all over for them but can only find the ones you have to drill. do they offer the same protection?

 

not a good idea to get no-cut sliders, they dont protect as well. The drill ones work better and they really arent hard to put on.

Yea i agree the no cut ones dont work as well as the drilled. Also told that they sometimes bend off or rub off if the slide is hard enough.

 

Ya well i still got my other one an 2000 gsx600r wit a cage and i learn all my stunts on that one and ill still use my new one and do some wen im around my friends but ill buy those extended ones on ebay. and hope i dont slam it down. lol thaks alot

 

thanks for the feedback guys

 

No cut sliders are a bad decision. They just wont hold up to the forces of a wreck...they may be good for a minor scrape (maybe)...I don't think the price difference would be worth it.
