FAQs

Are these side panels a direct replacement for OEM parts?

Yes, these Acerbis side panels are designed to match OEM fitment and serve as a direct replacement for the specified Suzuki DRZ400 and Kawasaki KLX400 models.

What material are the side panels made from?

They are manufactured from high-quality plastics, specifically designed by Acerbis for durability and performance in off-road conditions.

Do I need special tools to install these panels?

No, standard tools typically used for motorcycle maintenance, such as screwdrivers or a socket set, are sufficient for installation. No specialized tools are required.

Can these panels be painted?

While the panels come in a factory color match, painting is generally not recommended as standard paints may not adhere well to the plastic without proper preparation. However, plastics-specific adhesion promoters and paints are available if customization is desired.

How do I clean the side panels to keep them looking new?

Clean them with mild soap and water using a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch or discolor the plastic.

What is the warranty on Acerbis plastic parts?

Warranty information can vary. It is best to check with the retailer or manufacturer's official website for the most up-to-date warranty details applicable to your region.

Will these panels fit my DRZ400SM (Supermoto) model?

These specific panels are listed for the standard DRZ400 (2000-2012). While many parts are shared, it's crucial to verify compatibility with the DRZ400SM as there can be fitment differences due to its specific Supermoto-oriented design.

Troubleshooting

Panel does not align correctly

Verify that you have the correct model and year panels. Ensure no obstructions or bent mounting tabs on the motorcycle frame are preventing a proper fit. Loosen adjacent bodywork slightly to allow for adjustment.

Screws do not thread properly

Ensure you are using the correct size screws. Check that the mounting holes on the panel and the motorcycle frame are clear of debris. Do not force screws; if resistance is met, re-align the panel.

Panel appears to be the wrong color

Colors can appear different under varying light conditions. Confirm the color is 'Black' as specified. Allow the panel to be viewed in natural daylight for accurate color assessment.
