Hi guys,

I noticed while riding on rough road a strange noise, like something went loose. I checked when I arrived home, and it appears the backmost screw securing the plastic chain guard was gone... Never touched it before so maybe it wasn't screwed tightly enough or whatever, but please check it out before it falls on your bike too!

I ended up using a spare screw from the stock rear mudguard that I had stored since I put my R&G tail tidy a few months ago.

Ride safe!

Mine dropped off within first 500kms. I have put in a replacement bolt with thread locker.

Same problem, the dealer put another on bolt and no issues so far.

Hey, I recall reading this and thinking nothing of it.

+1 for me also. Got home to find bolt on the chain guard missing.

Means ordering one

Go check/re torque yours!

Checked mine after reading this and I'm minus one each side, waiting for dealer to call me back.

Anyone tried having it fixed under warranty? As if dealer is funny want to give an example.

Cheers

I had a spare bolt sitting around so just fixed it myself. Going to the dealer for a bolt was inconvenient for me.
