FAQs

Is this guard suitable for 4-stroke engines?

The Polisport Armadillo Pipe Guard is specifically designed and optimized for 2-stroke exhaust pipes. Its fit and performance on 4-stroke systems are not guaranteed.

Do I need to remove the exhaust pipe to install this guard?

No, the design allows for installation and removal without needing to detach the exhaust pipe from the motorcycle.

What material is the guard made from?

It is constructed from a dual compound, blending stainless steel with an elastomer for optimal protection, durability, and vibration dampening.

How do I clean the pipe guard?

Clean with a damp cloth or a mild detergent and water. Avoid high-pressure washing directly on the guard or using abrasive cleaners.

What is included with the pipe guard?

The package includes the Armadillo pipe guard, mounting bolts, and stainless steel clamps.

Can this guard be used in extreme weather conditions?

The materials are resistant to abrasion and high temperatures. It is designed for typical off-road conditions, but extreme, prolonged exposure to harsh elements might affect its longevity.

What other colors are available?

The Armadillo Pipe Guard is available in various colors including Blue, Orange, and Red, in addition to the Nardo Grey variant.

Troubleshooting

Guard does not fit securely

Re-position the guard on the exhaust pipe and ensure all clamps and bolts are tightened evenly. For some pipe shapes, slight bending of the clamps might be necessary.

Excessive vibration after installation

Verify that the elastomer compound is making proper contact and that all mounting hardware is snug but not overtightened, which could impede vibration damping.

Guard makes contact with other parts

Adjust the position of the guard along the exhaust pipe. If clearance issues persist, minor modification of the mounting bracket or guard might be required, or consider if this guard is the best fit for your specific bike model.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Armadillo Pipe Guard is designed for universal fit on 2-stroke exhaust pipes. Ensure the pipe is clean before installation. Use the included bolts and stainless steel clamps to secure the guard. Position it to offer maximum coverage of the pipe's vulnerable areas. The exhaust pipe does not need to be removed for installation.

Compatibility: This guard is specifically engineered for 2-stroke motorcycles. While it is a universal fit, checking clearances and ensuring it doesn't interfere with other components like footpegs or frame braces is recommended.

The elastomer and stainless steel construction are resistant to abrasion and high temperatures, making maintenance simple. Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
