Stuntex Mad Dog Cage on ZX6R 09
Kawasaki ZX6R 2009+ is gaining popularity among stunt riders around the world. Many top riders in Europe and the United States have long switched to this model from the 03-04 version. The advantages of the new Kawasaki are obvious, as well as the disadvantages. A good new Showa fork, excellent brakes, low weight, engine and electronics that are easy to work with, but the frame, subframe, and swingarm are fragile. Professional riders solve problems easily by installing a steel frame, steel subframe, and a professional handbrake. But what about those who ride to the spot on their own? Installing a steel frame makes it impossible to register a motorcycle and ride it on public roads.
The Stuntex Mad Dog cage allows you to keep the stock frame thanks to damping sliders, which absorb most of the impact energy in the fall, and engine support brackets, which significantly relieve the frame mounts when the motorcycle lands on its front wheel, for example, from a wheelie or while jumping. The first version of the Stuntex MD cage was tested by Grigorii Taldykin. During the season of regular training and shows, he had no problems with the frame. If a steel frame is mounted on a motorcycle, then there is no need for the brackets, so you can save money on the cage!
The second version is significantly improved. The direction of the sliders has changed so that the bike no longer flips over and slides more stably and predictably after falling from a wheelie. The cage has become lighter and more compact. The brackets and their fastening are reinforced and do not deform.
Watch the video on the cage installation down below. Modification and fitting of the side fairings are not shown in detail, because we already talked about it in our video about installing the cage on the ZX636 03-04.
