[QUOTE="otrfjr, post: 305806, member: 4661"] If you take it in for warranty work, take a piece of gum and a beer bottle cap and make your own guard in the parking lot before you hand over the keys. If they mention it, tell them that it's clearly as good (if not better) than the stock setup since there is clearly no damage to the drain plug and it's not in danger of breaking to the point where you can't reattach it. If they say the attachment point is the weak spot, tell them that at high speeds the cap hinges back over the drain plug to provide extra protection not available from Yamaha engineering and that Yamaha should seriously consider offering you a lead position on the FJR design team. If that doesn't work, offer the mechanic the open beer (and its 5 siblings). No sweat. [/QUOTE]
