The crankcase cover arrived very quickly and when I opened it I was impressed by how good it looked: sturdy and well finished. A little heavier than I expected (4200 g) because the three support bridges that brings to anchor it to the chassis of the bike are steel and not aluminum 4 mm as the oil pan. The 14 screws it comes with are also heavy. It has many more anchorages and supports to the chassis than the original of my Yamaha Ténéré 700 extreme 2024, which I disassembled totally dented. When I mounted it, according to instructions, everything went well until I tried to thread the last three screws on the bridge where it is supported by the front. They did not thread because they did not fit the 3 holes of the cover with the 3 nuts of the bridge. After a lot of research, I realized that the oil pan did not reach its position because it was sticking with the support of the protection that the bike has on the exhaust (it is the new exhaust that Yamaha mounts to meet EURO 5). To solve this problem, I had to make a hole in the exhaust cover the size of the bracket (as shown in the photo). In my opinion, the skid plate should not even rest on the exhaust pipe because a hit on that side of the skid plate will always damage the exhaust against which it rests. In this case, it is not that it rests, it is that it overlaps it and that is why the hole has to be made.

Engine guard from Yakk for the Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raid Reason 1. for buying the engine guard was the look. I find the underride guard beautifully shaped and I like it very much for my motorcycle. Reason 2: The Yakk guard is the only engine guard on the market that protects the Pro-Link (suspension strut deflection) well, as the additional guard is long enough. The material and workmanship is very well made. The additional strut is equipped with a rubber buffer so that nothing can penetrate even in hard use and the oil pan remains intact. Everything is included in the scope of delivery and the assembly is good thanks to the precisely fitting design. Delivery was fast and the engine guard was very well packaged. Reason 3. the price, for the good work this is a very good price. Thank you for the great engine guard!

Compared to the original black Yamaha engine guard, this one wins. The engine guard is even more stable and all parts to be protected are perfectly protected. The mounting is also better. While Yamaha attaches the engine guard with M6 bolts, this one is bolted to the frame with M8 bolts. Perfect! The workmanship is also impeccable. Delivery went quickly and smoothly. Everything top!!!
