Verified Specifications

Confirmed Fitment

Not Confirmed / Do Not Assume Fitment

Engine capacity, brand, similar mounting points or visual resemblance do not establish fitment. Match the exact motorcycle model and part number before ordering.

KXA00343 vs KXA00342

KXA00343 is the silver version in this listing. Do not order it when the required colour or packet part number is KXA00342.

Compact Engine Guard vs Sump Guard

These accessories perform different roles. A compact engine guard should not be described or purchased as an under-engine sump protector.

Protection and Safety Note

An engine guard can add a protective structure around part of the motorcycle and may help limit direct contact in some low-speed falls. It cannot guarantee protection against every impact, accident, slide or collision. The result depends on impact direction, speed, road surface, installation condition and other factors. Replace or professionally inspect any guard that becomes bent, cracked, heavily scratched or loose after an incident.
