Willie17FJ-09 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 good tires. Are you going to do some offroad riding? I just bought a 2017 too. I am going to do some mods for adventure/touring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevinator Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 she may see the occasional dirt road, but nothing much more than that. i do plan on getting a skid plate for the exposed oil pan though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was fixed in the 2017 model so if the occasional dirt road is all you're going to do I wouldn't bother. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
