Title: Lost (and found) my side cover
Post by: ElFuegoBlanco on May 24, 2026, 03:51:58 PM
Test run on the rd400 yesterday.

Today, notice the right side cover is gone.

Remembered I felt something touching my leg on the ride and thought it was the kick starter.

Panicked, I drove the short route and found it safe and sound on the side of the highway!

Turns out the rear master cylinder/bracket I fabricated was preventing the side cover from fully seating. Angle grinder and dremel to the rescue!

You are very lucky to find it unscathed on the side of the road.

I was not looking forward to trying to source a new one for sure
