Was cleaning the bike and working on some soft bag mounts, when I found the heat shield bracket was broken.... Just under 4500 km on it...
Time for some BZZZT BZZZT from the little blue Miller😎👌🧑‍🏭

Anyway go to the Dealer ans complain.
Good luck

Nah, I just cleaned up the surfaces and welded it back together. It took me longer to set up and then put away the welder than it did to fix it....🧑‍🏭👌

I had mine replaced at the dealer. They said they wouldn't weld it but would order me a new one. The part has been redesigned.

Hello Radar Vector,
thanks for the good information.
I will check on my pipe for cracks. So i can tell my Dealer when i am at 8000km Service.

I checked it...... It has alsow a crack.
It seems to be a systematic fault.
Next week I have a Service so i Tell my Dealer to fix it.
Verry thanks for the qualified information.

I think those are the factory spot welds, holding the bracket onto the header pipe.

I blame the beer goggles. Mine is still hanging on just fine BTW!
