A common problem with off-road motorcycles is people's boots rubbing the paint off the frame, those panels are designed to prevent that from happening. Nice that they are included as many are bought after-market. 1. It's metal alloy 1 mm thick, covered with rubber. Crank shaft is sealed by rubber ring inside alloy. 2. No way it can be removed without carter separation. 3. Damage I have it's only cosmetical, damage to the rubber, alloy and seal is intact. 4. No need for exchange, faith in Honda has returned. I seem to read a bit about owners of 2020/ 2021 models suffering through the different TFT problems that arise.

I rode a stock one with the 6 spd on asphalt only so I can't comment on the DCT or the offroading experience, sorry. They are not purposely withholding production. The plant producing the Africa Twin is in Kumamoto and was severely damaged in an earthquake earlier this year. The factory is just now coming back on line. Problem #3: Lean Fueling. Most new bikes suffer from this. Rough idle, snatchy/abrupt low speed response and backfiring. Just rode my friends identical bike with slip-on and mapped PC5, night and day improvement.
