thumb screws

[spin1]

Just picked up 2016 viper, wondering if both side covers should have thumb screws along with clip pins to hold them on.There are holes in the plastic for them. Only one side had a screw clip but no thumb screw on either side. Owner manual called for removing thumb screw securing access panel to front fascia. Thanks

My thumbscrew fell out sometime. Never replaced it and no issues. If always riding powder a guy would want it and much more sealing of engine compartment. But for trail riding and the little bit of off trail and ditches I do it has not been a issue.

As far as I remember, all the sr vipers only have the left side thumb screw installed coming from the factory.

First time I pulled my side panel off I threw the thumb screw right in the trash, not necessary at all.

I wonder if that thumb screw would work on the seat. I should have checked before I bought the billet one that I don't use anymore since I got my new tunnel pack.

Wrong. My 16 MTX came with a thumb screw for the left panel.

Did a parts check on various models, looks like the Ltx and Rtx are the units that do not have the thump screws. Quick search shows all others have it .

My 16 LTX LE did not come with itand you dont need it, I took mine off my 14 and had no problems even at high speeds at the track.
