Engine mount

[daddyRuss]

Hey all,


I noticed something somewhat strange when I changed my oil today. There's this gap on the engine mount/frame slider on the left (clutch) side of the engine. I never noticed this before and never noticed any vibrations on the bike. The other side of the engine doesn't have this shiny gap at all. Wondering if this is normal or is this a serious issue. I haven't taken it for a ride yet after the oil change as I have a couple of other things to do.

Thanks for all the response.

That is normal. Mine has the same thing. Engine is just machined down in that area after the paint work for a flush meeting point with the frame.

yep, mine's the same.
