Gaps with the undertray/underside

[edgeofsanity]

Hey all. Just picked up a left over 2023 3r. Gotta say this is the best part I like about all this new tech gadgetry:

I do have a question about the undertray. Everything on the bike looks well put together, but there are these gaps. Is this normal? Or is mine misaligned?

It is not normal. The plastic plate is poorly assembled, you have to remove it (2 screws under the seat) and put it back in place, easy.

Thanks, will have to get on that

not normal or properly installed. I would check everything… Either previous owner fiddled, or maybe poor repair job especially with only 21km on the clock.

its not properly installed from factory and its really tricky to get hold of installing it if its your first time.

It's new...leftover 2023 from dealer, I'm sure it was just poorly fitted from factory, but now it does make me wonder if other parts were poorly assembled as well...will have to do fine inspection for piece of mind.

But on this part, maybe I should let the wife know that it's broken and I might as well replace it with the carbon fiber piece

I take this part off regularly for cleaning & am yet to figure out a trick to getting it back into place easily.
Just as I'm reaching the point of frisbee-ing it, it just effortlessly clips back into place. I think it's just mocking me now.
