Hey,


I don't know if this is on anyone else's 400ex but on the left side of the engine, there is a dent in the engine cover. The piece that says honda on it. it's not small dent either. the right side of the cover is like dented in. Is that normal?

are the "dents" near the shifter and brake pedal on each side? if that were the case that would be fine as it is meant to be like that

Normal. I wondered the same thing when I bought mine so I just drove to the dealer and looked at a new one...its there.

I dont really see a reason for it. My sifter has plenty of clearance.

lol yeah only if bikes were nice enough to dent haha. the metal is terrible in bike engines. they dont dent they shatter. well most of the time i get good sized chunks that brake off. my stator cover snapped clean out the other week. picked on up off ebay for 13. painted it flat black and now it looks nice again:)
