DIY Crash Cage Install


Bought this crash cage from Bikempire Malaysia (you can get this elsewhere too)



Tools:
Size 8 Allen key (as long as you can get)
12mm box
Size 4 Allen key
Loctite



Step 1:
8mm Allen to remove 2 engine mount screws.
Remove one side at a time


Step 2:
Match up the holes with the mount holes and insert provided bolts
Longest bolts provided are for the rear mounts on each side.
Slightly shorter of the 2 shorter bolts is for the left side front mount (so we seem to think)
Shortest bolt to be bolted to the bottom provided rail (hand tighten)
Bolt everything up with Loctite and torque to spec if you have a torque wrench.
If u don't, guesstimate and take consideration that the engine is aluminum. If you don't have a torque wrench or can't guesstimate, stop reading this, and get a shop to help.


Step 3:
Ensure this rail is hand tightened coz if u torque down one side, it's never gonna fit


Step 4:
Loctite the world... I don't believe in bolt ride then bolt... Fucking Loctite it and it will never move


Step 5:
Once both sides are done, tighten the railing at the bottom


Step 6:
Insert the sliders provided. And lock it down with the size 4 Allen.
You may have to drill out the hole if it's clodded with powder coat.


Step 7:
Loctite everything (Again)


Step 8:
Step back and marvel at your greatness!!
