FUAL TANK GUARD ?????

Post by jim tylee » Tue Apr 15, 2014 2:21 pm

Been under the Suzuki sj413 to have a another look and noticed that the metal sheet that is under the fuel tank is badly rotted...does this item play a important part or is it just to guard the tank from damage offroad ??????
thanks Jim

Just to protect it off road. If you don't go off road it can be removed, only 4 bolts.

They are the same bolts that hold the tank in though so care needs to be taken not to disturb the tank too much.
