My XT has a Rizoma billet belt cover, I went away camping yesterday with my son and fully loaded, I thought my shock was bottoming out on the bumpy Irish roads so I adjusted the preload up full but still felt the knocking through the foot pegs, then I noticed the Rizoma cover was coming in contact with the frame, stationary the cover sits about 8mm from the frame, I only have the Buell 3 weeks so I dont know my way around it very well yet. I did notice the engine is on rubber mounts, correct?? Should there be enough movement of the engine on a very bumpy road to cause this to happen? Has anyone else got the Rizoma cover fitted and experience the same? Done a quick search on google but didn't find anything. | ||

If you can, please take a photo or multiple photos so that we all can look at the issue. There are a ton of people on here who are eager to help, but sometimes parts from the other side of the pond are not the same as what we have available to us here in the states. That being said, a photo is worth a thousand words. | ||

Thanks for the replies folks, I posted my concern on a UK forum at the same time and I've been told this is a common issue with this cover, the manufacturers seemed to forget the engine is rubber mounted and didn't leave enough clearance for bumpy roads. Its an easy fix with a file and some emery paper. Hopefully! |
