          it wont be rusting dont worry..............(my 8 year old fiero had this prob from the 3rd year and it never rusted till the end)........

          cut the foam in shape of that,(you can get them at the cargo material supplyin shops,they're black in colour and are about 8 mm thick) and place it at the area this wont be makin it loose the paint further......

              • ^^^ or get a transperant decal sticker like the one you already see there and stick it. That's what Yamaha did on the R15!

                • Got the bike's 2nd service done.

                  The bike has become a lot smooth & tappet noise has also gone done significantly

                        • Well even the ZMA doesnt have one.

                          We once had long discussion on the real usage of crash guards & we didnt find any major advantages of them.

                            it is to reduce weight... and maybe better aerodynamics...

                            are you serious? the crash gaurd has saved myy leg from bumps and nicks lots of times... i give it high importance.

                              Its quite funny that u really asking this.
                              For looks? We are not crazy man. No posers are on track, only hard core racers.
                              The bike is stripped for weight reduction. Also no part other than the handle bar is allowed to stand out from the bike. A crash guard is a gimmick for road accidents. Wont stand a chance on a high speed race track crash.
                              Does an SBK has a crash guard? Come-on man, dont be so crazy. Race bikes are not street bikes.

                                mojor advantages ?
                                it saved my bike and knee when i crashed at 100kmph onto a divider ..
                                how can you even say that it doesnt have any advantages ?
