Ninja 250 case guards

[mkionka]

I'm resurrecting this thread to get some clarification on the case guard requirement for the '08-'12 Ninja 250.

I did a little looking around, and only found a carbon fiber one for the right side:

I don't think this will do much to keep it from getting worn away in a crash. But I can say I've crash tested my Ninja 250 no less than 4 times in the last 7 years, and neither side of the crankcase has any road rash.

So do we really need these things?

Mike,
I have discussed this with our track marshal and we have agreed that while the left side is pretty well inside the frame, the right side certainly sits out far enough to require some kind of extra protection. It may be hard to hit it if you have good rear sets and clip-ons, but if one of those things fails (and they fail pretty easily a lot of times) it can grind the case down and we are both more comfortable making the right side mandatory for the 250
