Rubber between tank and frame dropped...

[Chaoz]

Hi guys, the rubber thingy that is between the bottom of the tank and frame (the one rubber thing that prevents the tank from knocking onto the frame in sports bike) dropped into the bike!!

 

At first I noticed that it was gonna dropped (if drop will drop in, not out). Then my attempt to dig it out made it drop right in (behind the frame). I can't see where it is now.. any idea where it will land? will it hurt my bike? e.g. drop into carb or engine or valve or something? Thanks

no worries

the rubber piece is definitely too big to be sucked in by the bike anywhere

He is referring to the pair of black rectangular size(or looks like a black color eraser) rubber thingy that a clips + holds + support the metal petrol tank of the bikes when it rest on the frame of the bike...

Maybe the only rear worry is the rubber thing drop too near the engine, gets hot, melts...etc.

W/o the mounting, wun ur tank vibrate even more?

[Chaoz]

i already got it replaced by the bike shop, but i'm worrying about what's going on inside.. where it dropped into, what it is doing to the bike.. etc..

[ractive89]

not a problem..as its to big to fall in anywhere in the engine..

[denniz]

care to share where u gotten the rubber pieces from?

mine didnt come w/ the bike (2nd hand).

but i did see the rubber pieces in other similar models.

[Chaoz]

think most bike diams should have ba.. only issue is whether u are able to get the original one or not.. can ask denniz about that.. think he got the original ones..

 

 

**Latest update: The current rubber dropped AGAIN** maybe i'll see a lot of rubbers when i open up my tank during servicing..

Chaoz, seems that your rubber always drop off. Have you tried not putting the rubber? My fuel tank is secure without both the rubbers, tank not touching the frame.

if dun put when i go over hump or bumpy area can feel the tank hitting the frame
