Or anyone who’s a really good bike mechanic
I removed my subframe to inspect the inside of my airboot and to remove my shock for some suspension work.
Upon putting my airboot back on, I ran into this problem.
Is this just really really bad design on Suzuki’s part? I don’t understand how I am supposed to get an Allen wrench in there and tighten this to the throttle body.
Anyone else who owns a 2018+ RMZ 450, and have removed your subframe or airboot, how did you tighten the god damn thing? Is it really this much of a pain in the ass to get to?
Please help!

I think that's what I did, or maybe just a ball- end Allen key got on it.
The Shop
Usually there are separate teams assigned to each system...think; frame, suspension, motor, controls, etc. The biggest problem occurs where these systems interface. Since each design team is a separate unit vying for budget dollars and facing schedules...they don't interact very well...if at all. In the past, there were INTEGRATION engineers that looked at those areas where one system joined the next. They are rare birds nowadays. The various engineering teams hated them because it exposed design problems which slows things down and costs money. Management hated them for the same reasons plus they had to pay their salaries. Bye bye.
Sorry for the long reply but you asked
When I went to move the subframe to the side, I guess I didn’t have the clamp super tight so it ended up pulling off.
Ball end hex key seems to be the way though. Gonna go buy a set today!
