Anyone ever notice this?

In the 2008 model Parts manual

Drawing Table 19, Item 65, P/N 8000 B1747, code D =To Issue

the OEM "Heat Protection"......

anyone seen one?? just curious.

Yes, my bike came with one.

I'm thinking mine might have from what I've read on here about the new map. My bike was super lean once I put the "kit" on it.

Mine came with the heat shield (some have called it a Ginsu, I've had no problems with it) but my bike has a build date (engine, frame) of 11/07. Perhaps my dealer added it, I don't know. Mine runs a bit rich since adding the PowerUP kit.

They send me one for free... after burning my boot

They sent me a big box of them to install on all the bike we had on the floor/sold. They also sent rubber grometts to relocate the pipe.

My bike has a build date of April '08.

I put on the up-tite one and never knew they actually made one until I saw one on the 09 at GP Motos. And I just happened upon the one in the parts catalog.

does this apply to the 610te?

where do the rubber grometts fit? how many of them ?

my Al one has cracked so I have the oem one on order

Is there an E-copy of the parts manual? I think you're talking about the oval shaped, brushed metal shield that bolts to the frame and clips to the sub frame?

I have had this OEM part for the past 10 months, they work OK, helps to stop burning your pants, a bit small & flimsy though as it has unfortunately cracked at the fixing area. Trying to get one under warranty.
Does any one know how much they are?

DONE!!
Front & rear.
