May 19, 200521 yr Hi all, Just wondered. I'm thinking of putting a new bash plate on my Rev3....current one has been WELL bashed SO..the question is. Are all the Rev3 bash plates the same??....It looks to me like they are..but I know the rubber has changed in recent years. Cheers in advance for any help
May 20, 200521 yr Stu - didn't they move the motor toward the back wheel about 1/2" in the last two model years? I don't remember if it was in '04, or '05, but they DID change the engine location slightly... don't know if that has any effect on the skid plate though...
May 20, 200521 yr Author Mmmm...thanks clarkp. will be interesting to see the replies on this one. Of course on one hand it doesn't matter, if I just order one and state the year of my bike, but its interesting (to me)...and HOPEFULLY to others, what parts can be swapped around on the Revs. Particularly for me since I'm lucky enough (ahem..rather ashamed to say this)...to own 2 Revs....mind you, they are both a bit old and bashed about now! I THINK the 02 and 03 are the same,..(and I suspect the 01 also)..but you might have a point with the 04 and 05
May 23, 200521 yr Just checked the part numbers for the 2000 and 2004 Rev 3 bash plate and they are the same part number 12-32182 but the rubber did change from 16-23321 to 16-23320 in 2001 to offer more protection.
May 23, 200521 yr What I have noticed with 04 and 05 rev3 sumpguards is that if you dont keep an eye on bends and dents on the flywheel side it can push up and put a flat on the casing , keep it straight if you can by pressing , hammering etc. it could get expensive when the flywhhel buffs its way through!
May 23, 200521 yr Author Mmm...thanks PA...looks like it was only the rubber that changed then?...thats good news. On further inspection, the one on my 02 looks the same as the one on my 03, BUT the 03 one looks thinner!!!...will try to remember to measure them next time I'm with the bikes..and let you know.
May 23, 200521 yr Author Mmmmm...someones told you about my riding! No really, I think it is some nasty jokers, that rub it down with sandpaper when I'm not looking
