Has anyone else lost the little plastic frame protector from under the seat? only held on with sticky pads!
Yamaha - what a stupid friggin design :mad:
 
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!

Without pictures you might as well be talking Klingon.

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]
 
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.

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

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

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]️
