ROOST - You can feel a difference very quickly - Easy to install and test - Factory look ENDO - $399.00 price tag - Has advantages and disadvantages for some riders - For some riders we only utilized the upper mounts
W H AT I T I S - Engine mounts designed to alter the chassis flex character - Lower mounts made from titanium - Lower through bolt made from titanium Chassis flex characteristics and how engine mounts can affect the way a bike handles has been a hot topic for several years now and there are now options available. FCP or Factory Chassis Parts offer aftermarket engine mounts ready to bolt up and they are designed specifically for each model. Unless you were a factory rider, optional engine mounts were not really available until just recently. Some riders and tuners utilized tricks like drilling holes in the middle of mounts, for example, and/or kept testing different torque settings in areas like lower engine mounts, upper engine hangers, and swingarm pivot bolts. The Suzuki RM-Z450 has always turned very well but has also had a very stiff chassis, which often rears its head or is very noticeable on rougher tracks. Simply following the instructions and the installation is very simple. However, you will need a torque wrench to properly tighten the mounts, this is very important according to FCP. The mounts retail for $399 as a set.
