mannic Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Hey everyone. I bought my bike from the original purchaser, and he claimed it's how it looked from assembly at 0 miles. From the day I bought it, the right side tank plastic has had a 3/4" gap between it and the tank. The left side though, is what I would consider correct, with only an 1/8" gap. Is there something just assembled incorrectly about the front end to cause this? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! if you take off the trim "collar" around top of the gas tank, you can unbolt the top bolt for that panel and put the little tab back in its slot...that will close that gap in the trim... 2012 wr250f - C-class 30+ age group 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition-80whp 2015 fj-09- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich tune by 2WDW @120whp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skipperT Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 To explain a bit more - that hidden rubber dampener slides into a slot on the RH side of the fairing. If you don’t get it in the slot, then it folds down the metal that the dampener is attached to which would create the gap you illustrated. You may need to tweak the metal slightly to get it to fit correctly again. -Skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
