engine mounts on ec 300 2013

[mikhogl]

Hello!

I noticed that on my ec there are no bracket on the engine mount on the cylinder head, on the 2009 model there is a bracket, does anybody have any idea why they removed the bracket 2013? i attach a picture with the two frames, where you can see that to the left ther are bracket and to the right therea are no brackets? shoulden this cause the bike to vibrate more?

best regards

Mike

The 12 came like that swell i guess its something to do with the new frame? My 12 feels less vibey than my 10 i reckon too. On top of that my 10 used to snap them!! 3 of them in 12 months!

Head stays are intended to stiffen the frame - if the frame is stiff enough there is no need for them, and has been stated they often act just to transmit vibration.
