RE\\Metal replacement chain guards.

[Guided_monkey]

Bit of a prob this morning. A rag/towel found it's way into the chain and consequently the chain guard is naffed:argh:

Has anyone had any probs with WOF's with a non-standard chain guard??

Cheers for any answers.:clap:

Life without a chain guard would be arhhh messy i guess but ive never thought its a requirement for WOF.may be wrong but..........

i think it IS a wof thing, so yeah time for a new one :S they can be expensive.

as far as non standerd goes, just wack one on there they don't care what brand it is.

Yeah it is a WOF requirement. I once made one out of some aluminium angle, and there was no worries getting a warrant.

my bike aint got one and its been through a couple of wof's with the previous owner without it... and they made him go put a reflector on the back because that was missing :eek5:

MY old XR250 didn't have a chain guard (I took it off to clean it after a session at Muriwai, and lost the bolts) and that went through a three WOFs without issue.

I couldn't find any reference to a chain guard, so I guess you don't need one then.
