Hey guys!
I’ve got a few days of from work and figured this would the moment for winter maintenance. All is going well, nothing special until now. While cleaning the parts that come off I noticed one weld on the OEM skidplate that isn’t welded at all, in fact the part is 50% loose. For the price of these parts the welder should get a proper kick to the behind! What kind of quality check is there at the manufacturer?
I was warned by several members including @~TABASCO~ that the OEM isn’t the best because of the way it bolts to the engine. I don’t ride hardcore off-road so it could work fine for me but this is a big disappointment. I’ll weld it myself.
Maybe more members should check their plates, just a heads-up. It’s the left front bracket.
Stefan.
