Just to let you know I've just installed Ricochet skid plate and CV/swingarm.
While installing the swingarm plate I've lifted the bike and I've noticed a small squeal coming from the swingarm spinning the tire, this sqeal disappear spinning it faster , seems like rubbing(gneeeeeek) somewhere inside and is not plate or tire related, any hints?
BudO here

 

any hints about the noise ,I'm a little paranoic...

 

Make sure the fluid is up to the top. The only things that could squeak would be the u-joints or a dry seal rubbing on a metal shaft.
Does the swingarm skidplate cover the entire swingarm, or just that portion already covered by the factory plate?

 

mine use to do that but only on a cold start, i took it as the seals for the axle not being lubed up enough when you first start the machine. it has quit doing it for the past 400 or so miles.

 

Thanks Guys.
I'll check fluid in the swingarm.

 

Scott,
I've forgot to say the swingarm plate cover it all.

TTm,
I always buy in the States ,you can find everything you want on the net in a minute ,and have it at your door in a week at worst..
In Italy you start phone calling every dealer all day long just to find out they have no idea what you are talkin' about, and if you are lucky enough to find what you need it cost almost double than in the states.
so I prefer to go the US way.
God bless america
