Confused

[erniebearskin]

I order a Ransom case saver from Gofasters, they were out of stock and offered me a cool red billet GasGas one for the same price so I said sure. However now that I have it, I am confused, does it replace the plastic guard over the front sprocket? If so my front spocket is totally exposed, which seems concerning to me. Or is this billet case saver used in conjunction with the stock plastic guard. Or maybe this fits a different bike, does anyone know what the heck Im talking about? Cheers.

The billet unit is designed differently.

Does it look like a half-moon on the front side of the sprocket? If so, all is well.

I do not use the plastic sprocket guard on my bike. It just gets packed with mud and crap.

+1, gets tossed at setup time.

Hi, upon further inspection it appears it is used in conjunction with the plastic guard. Nova Scotia, is there no chance if something getting chewed up in the sprocket, or is that just not likely?

I have my plastic thingy on with the case guard.

We usually don't have to worry about mud here in Arizona. We did have one mud race and, yes, it did get packed full of mud (clay). But so did everything else.

Ive never left the plastic guard on any of my bikes, just instantly switched to the case saver type aluminum guards that just are like a quarter moon. around the sprocket and leave the side of the sprocket open. I didnt realize people actually used those...I just though it was something they added at the factory for saftey regulations that everyone took off, like a chain guard on a cheap bmx bike...

Thats exactly why they are there, regulations, just like the self retract sidestand.

Yeah, it works in conjunction with the sprocket cover. Here is a photo from the GASGAS Euro catalog, it is on page 10.
