RACETECH Side Panels for SUZUKI RMZ 450 2008-2017

On SUZUKI RMZ 450 from 2008 to 2017, the RACETECH pair of side panels fits in place of the original part. Fitted on each side under the seat, the side panels shield the air box and the shock from spray and carry the numbers. A new pair is often enough to freshen up the bike.

Choosing the colour

All colours have the same shape: pick the one that matches your other plastics, your graphics or the background colour of your numbers.

When to replace it?

• Panels scratched or whitened by boot rub.
• Plastic cracked around the screws or broken after a crash.
• Numbers that no longer stick on a badly marked plastic.

Check the bike's model year: the shape of the panels follows that of the air box and the rear loop. A vented panel lets more air into the air box.

Fitting tips

1. Remove the seat if necessary, then the old panels, keeping the hardware.
2. Clean the air box and check that the filter is properly seated before closing it up.
3. Screw in without forcing, then fit your numbers on clean, degreased plastic.

Frequently asked questions

Does a vented panel let water in?
It lets in more air, and therefore more dust and water: check and service the air filter more often, especially after washing.
