My new XT has a Rizoma billet belt cover, I went away camping yesterday with my son and fully loaded, I thought my shock was bottoming out on the bumpy Irish roads so I adjusted the preload up full but still felt the knocking through the foot pegs, then I noticed the Rizoma cover was coming in contact with the frame, stationary the cover sits about 8mm from the frame, I only have the Buell 3 weeks so I dont know my way around it very well yet. I did notice the engine is on rubber mounts, correct?? Should there be enough movement of the engine on a very bumpy road to cause this to happen? Has anyone else got the Rizoma cover fitted and experience the same? Done a quick search on google but didn't find anything. :?

It shouldn't foul, can you post pictures, I am assuming you have a Tuber? perhaps your isolators have gone allowing the engine to drop (but that is a wild stab in the dark.......and Maz'll probably tell me to shut up!!)

He probably will tell you to shut up especially seing as weecorey put at the start of his post that he has an XT lOl ;) ...........could still be an isolator problem though.

I presume you mean a Rizoma front pulley cover ?......if so, they all do that sir......think Rizoma forgot that the engine is rubber mounted :)
