what did you do with your fazer today ?

[agricola]

Curious. Took the hugger off to give it a clean underneath. Two marks apparent, one on the underside, one on the top. Underside one looks to be caused by tyre contact, topside one looks to be due to the hugger coming into contact with the right side exhaust pipe. Would I be wrong to assume that at some point while riding, the rear becomes compressed, the hugger comes up against the exhaust, and the contact pushes the hugger onto the tyre? In effect, the hugger is sandwiched between the pipe and the tyre? Should I worry about this, or remove the hugger and ride without it? If I do the that, does that mean the tyre will contact the hot exhaust pipe?


Any thoughts anyone?
