Tell me about the S2R 800

ducb0y, I was not clear on the ignition cover. Sorry. I was referring to a key guard that goes on the tank in that valley. Guessing if the tank was swollen it might not even be able to fit. Asked owner for a head on shot of the ignition so I can see how close that tank is. I looked at a S2R 1000 in one of the local dealers this week and have a feel for how much daylight should be showing around that switch now as its tank did not appear to be swollen.

Thanks for the info on the tanks! If I have the owner get a pic of under the tank, will I be able to see these rubber pads? What do you mean by "opening the tank"?

I meant lifting the tank.  There is a latch there because you can lift the tank to access the airbox, battery, ecu, and other stuff I'm sure.

I've seen THIS one for M900, but I don't know where else to look.  Not sure if it will fit, but if it does it will clearly cover that scratch.

Yeah, that's what I had seen before.  That would for sure cover the scratch if it would fit the S2R tank. May be a non issue as owner has emailed and said he has checked with dealer and they feel a new tank would be approved. Sheds a whole new light on this. Seems like everyone is happy with their S2R. I figure if Chris Kelley is happy with his then it would probably suit my needs and riding style fine. Just want a fun and comfortable bike for weekend rides.
