January 11, 2017
According the present invention there is provided a secondary engine cover (10, 110, 210) formed from a polymeric material comprising a wear indicator (12, 112, 212). In this invention wear indicators are created in one alternative in the form of round holes appearing in on the top surface of the secondary engine cover when crucial areas of material of the secondary engine cover have been worn down. This allows scrutineers, team technicians and riders to evaluate the secondary engine covers visually, and base their decisions on what they see easily, should the secondary engine cover not be replaced automatically after a fall or crash as recommended.
