Where abouts is this under seat? Not noticed it and I remove seat to get lock out daily so may be gone.....

2 in the front were gone during day 1 of my ownership....

I put some thick rubber pads there... they lasted longer (like 3 weeks) before they disappeared too!

This is it. I dislodged one while suspending the rear of the bike to fit the ZX10 shock but just pressed it back on and so far it has stayed put.


A vee four and an inline triple, the two best sounds in motorcycling. [emoji101]

I dont think my bike has one of those

From memory behind it is a small adhesive pad stuck to the frame with a couple of holes that locate the cover.

When you put the photo i went to my bike for inspection... the result is that on mine they are still in their position... but i discover their presence just today !!
I think its easy to loose/disconnect them if you wash the bike with pressured water.

Yepp I have got one, Matt Grey Sept 2014 model

I also notice that the 2015 models get a small piece of plastic stuck to the right side of the swing arm which stops the brake hose rubbing on swing arm and taking the paint off.

Mine also has a home made version now.

That's the bit...... guess i'll have to buy an infill panel now

Mines got the bit on swingarm to, but thought it was a 2014 how do i know what year it is by frame number?

 

[Swagger]

Oh that! Yep ... got it!

 

[lee1980]

mine are still there phew lol did not notice them really!

 

[Fluke]

I'm off to look for mine now but I'm pretty sure I've never seen them.
It's amazing Yamaha splashed out on such a luxury item when they couldn't afford decent suspension

Well, bless my cotton socks! I do have them.
Now I just have to work out what they are protecting the frame from exactly

 

[MT09-Smurf]

Never noticed them before, I've just took a sneaky peak, mine are still there, I can sleep tonight now! Lol

 

[Matt Grey]

Just checked and mine are both on the bike Feb 14 build

I never noticed them before.

 

[boro]

lol same here, never noticed them before and can't think what they are supposed to be protecting the frame from....

Have to admit when I found it beside the bike when I was changing the shock I had to look where it had come from [emoji5]️
