I'm considering getting a cage soon and have a few questions that would help me a ton with my decision (btw I have a 2000 F4)...thanks in advance!...
1. does anyone have a working coupon code for the Freestyle Ingenuity website?
2. what cage gets in the way the least during normal riding?
3. what is the best brand and why? (FI, Powers Stuntworkx/Lockhart Phillips,905 Racking, are there more?)
4. I see they have crash cages, racerails, swingarm spools, axle spools, and extended cage sliders. To get max protection what should I get? Can you even get a crash cage and racerails or would you have to only get one or the other cuz they gon in the same spot?
5. What are clip-ons?
6. What is a stunt stay?
7. Does anyone have a pic of their handbrake setup?
8. Will putting either a cage or 12 o'clock bar on my bikeeffect 2up riding at all? (i ride w/ my g/f all the time)
9. Do you think I should get an oil relocator to prevent oil starvation? (cuz w/ slow stuff you're up there for a whiiiiile)
10. About how many hours of labor will it take to install a cage and a 12 o'clock bar?
11. Do cages completely protect your plastics or do you need to take them off? (I'd prefer tokeep them on)

any other info you think I should know would be greatly appriciated. thanks guys

 

1. Nope their cages suck, why would I want a coupon for junk
2. You can drift with Sick Innovations and not have it hit
3. Check stuntlife, there are 100s of cage threads, just dont start a new one
4 A full cage would be the most protection, and no you cant run a cage and race railz
5 I hope youre kidding, but they are what you hold on to when youre riding. A lot of people turn the out from the stock position to maake them more comfortable for stunting.
6 The same thing as a stock fairing stay just stronger
7 You dont need a handbrake
8 No
9 Im not sure what f4is do as far as an oil pickup.
10 1 hour at the most
11. No they dont totally protect them, but they are much better/stronger than normal sliders. Depending on what cage you get, you might have to drill a hole in them.

 

This has been a real big help thank you so much...
If anyone else has more info or disagrees please post.

 

7. Youll only need a HB if you plan on doing tank tricks or dancing all over your bike while doing a wheelie... I could be wrong.
9.Run an extra quart of oil

 

you should learn footbrake before even thinking about getting a HB

 

you should spend a little time lurking on stuntlife. You don't have to post anything everything you need to know is there. pics of handbrake setups, stunt stays, sub frames, everthing you would ever want to know.

 

7. I do plan to learn all of that
9. I heard thats not good for your bike...also i have an F4, NOT an F4i...does not having fuel injection make a difference as far as oil starvation goes?

 

No differance, all depends on where the oil pickup is. As long as your not blowing black smoke out of your pipe you should be ok. Dont start with a full quart either, use a half first and try it. Im sure youll be sitting your wheelies back down before starvation becomes a problem.

 

I run 905 cage and bar...noproblems yet and it has taken a few hits...

FREESTYLE INGENUETY = JUNK

If you do crash it will break your motor mounts off the block...
Just ask my buddy with a 900rr that im switching engine cases for...LOL

 

lmao @ #4...."Can you even get a crash cage and racerails"

simple...get a cage...50% more effective than railz.
