Moriwaki skid pad (*´ρ`)
Since different manufacturers call them by different names, let’s go with engine slider.
• Crash
• Tip-over
• Forgot to put down the side stand
Regardless of the size, the chances of being saved are extremely high.
The supply of small parts is really important (*´з`)
In case of emergency, so you don’t end up having to replace everything, I recommend Moriwaki products.
They’re thick, and from my experience, they give absolute peace of mind.
I heard a rumor that it makes you slide even more and you can’t stop.
Technically it’s possible, but…
Without running statistics on about 1,000 slides with and without sliders, I can’t really say for sure.
But I think minor incidents are clearly more common than major crashes.
Tip-overs / Low-speed falls / Forgot to put down the side stand / U-turns
Just these alone can crack the cover and spill oil if you’re unlucky.
The engine cover and engine oil alone will cost you over 20,000 yen.
You don’t try to fall or try to tip over.
These things happen at unpredictable and unexpected moments.
There’s a reason the saying goes “better safe than sorry.”
Just like helmets, gloves, and protectors, it’s a part you want to think about.
