Default KFX 400 mid skid plate rattles LOUD - help!
This is on a new KFX 400 with the Kawasaki brand aluminum skid plate that replaces the stock one. It rattles louder than the pipe and is very annoying! Any advice?

Give it a few rides and tighten it up after each real good and it usually stops. At least both mine have. Mine rattled pretty bad first trip out, 2nd trip out not so bad and by the third its quiet.

take your plate off and put silicon along the areas that touch the frame. Works perfect.
