Wet Foot Syndrome?

[kingedwards99]

left foot plate was 35.00 at my dealer

2-feet of duct tape on the back side of the perforated plate near the foothold is very effective and almost free. This year I'm upgrading to aluminum sheet and rivets. I hear this will add about 9-hp.

I used billet aluminum and it added 11.75 horse!

well it only makes sense that billet would add a little extra hp. Could probably squeeze a few more out of her if you added flames to it...

Or a sticker. Those add lots of power!

don't forget the handguards. . . .as Phelan said in TS8 it gave his MCX MTX so much more power he couldn't even hold on

But handguards are a good thing, since they do make a big difference and aiding in keeping your hands warmer.

But back to the original thread....

You can get this guard/plate from yamaha??

Here is the part number:

8GL-2197B-00-00 retails for $26.70 in the us I think.

It worked wonders and was easy to install.

I have it and I don't think it totally works. Its better, but I still get the wet foot.

Saw a picture of it. Not really seeing how its going to help. Can still get some water through the holes where foot goes. hmmm. Im gonna make something here at the shop and see how it works. Thanks guys

i installed it on my 08 last year and it made a big differnence. never a wet foot. it definetely works because the year b4 my left sock was always soaked. only bad thing is i blew a belt last year and the plate was ruined.
