| More Protection After some of the trails/obstacles I've been going through lately, I figured this would be a good investment. Last edited by ConqSoft : 12-08-2006 at 2:39 AM. | |

| Re: More Protection Dayum! A "wrap-around" skid plate! That should help.  Do you fall down a lot?  |

| Re: More Protection I've also heard that this is a good idea because if the chain breaks, it'll break the engine casing. https://secure.srcinc.net/prodpage.c...02&StartRow=11 |

| Re: More Protection Here's the main things I wanted to protect (oil lines). They are just hanging out in the open with the stock "engine guard" (if you want to call it that). Last edited by ConqSoft : 12-08-2006 at 2:39 AM. |

| Re: More Protection Probably a nice try.. I doubt the chain will ever break if you take care of it the way you're supposed to.. And I have never seen a single post that tells me you skip safety related maintenance on any of your bikes   |

| Re: More Protection 2 of my bud's have had broken chains in the past year. One would have lost the lower half of his foot if it wasn't for his boots and the other still has a leaky engine case that has been repaired many times over. It broke that little guard thing in front of the counter shaft sproket. |

| Re: More Protection At any rate, a good, quality skidplate is mandatory on any dirtbike! Can save much grief and $$ in the long run. Cheapest piece of insurance you can buy. |

| Re: More Protection i dont understand - why would these types of bikes be built like that? they are meant to be taken off road. they have no protection  seems to me if something like that was to happen to your bike you could go back to the manufacturuer and claim faulty equipment design. you wouldn't design a car without a windshield would you? |

| Re: More Protection Some people like to leave the cover off so it's easier to clean out the area and because the cover can trap mud. Maybe the new one is a bit different so you can leave the cover off? Personally I like the cover...it may pack up with mud, but I remember reading in Dirt Bike years ago about a guy losing the tip of his finger in a crash when it got trapped between the chain and CS sprocket. Convinced me. Last edited by luvtolean : 06-28-2004 at 3:24 PM. |
