    I just picked up my new 2015 Tiger Sport. It has an amazing 1200 miles on the clock so is barely broken in so no major issues to speak of. However, on the left hand side of the bike just below the frame is a plastic infill panel. It has two plastic lugs on the back that locate into rubber grommets that are located under the frame and on the leading edge of the front sprocket cover.

    Here in lies my issue. I noticed on Sunday after I had got back from picking the bike up that the cover was 'hanging by a thread'. I figured it was simply something that the dealer had not replaced correctly during the service so pushed it back into place. It didn't seem to fit 'snugly' but went for another ride on Tuesday only to experience the same issue.

    Basically the center hole in the grommets are too big for the plastic lugs or the plastic lugs are too narrow for the grommets.

    I have spoken to the Dealer (Pidcock) and they were a little in the dark to be honest. Only thing I can say for sure is that the two grommets on my bike are different. However, on the parts list online it stipulates that you require 2 of the same grommet. Probably where my issue is to be fair but wondered if this had been experienced by anybody else???
