Broken Clamp
Hello people.
I've just noticed that a clamp on my 2009 250R has corroded and completely broken away from around exhaust/cover - see part number 92171B on this link: https://www.motorcyclespareparts.eu/...er-595463.aspx Everything still seems pretty solid, nothing moving around, so should I be worried about replacing it? Looks like it's a secondary fixing for the cover, but not sure. Can anybody help? Cheers! |

That clamp just holds that small cover on. It's mostly cosmetic, and heat shield for your leg. I've had an aftermarket exhaust for a long time, and I don't remember how close my leg got to it, it might not be much of an issue.
If it falls off, it won't affect your bike's operation at all, though it's probably not a good idea to be shedding parts as you go down the road.

Haha! Thank you. Well, the shield is still held on by a couple of screws, so I'll just keep an eye on it.
Cheers mate |

curious about your user name, is it poo from a white dog, or is your dog's poo white?

Errr... none of the above haha! Just got fed up trying to find a username that wasn't already taken... and for some reason thought of something you don't see nowadays... prob showing my age here, but when I was a kid (before someone invented the pooper scooper or poo bags!), you could nearly always see white dog poo on a grass verge somewhere where it had been left to go mouldy!!! Luckily, quite a rare find today!
