Product Information

Full details

The Acerbis Skid Plate (0022309.090) is an essential upgrade for motocross, enduro, and dual-sport riders who demand maximum undercarriage protection without the weight penalty of metal alternatives. By utilizing advanced impact-resistant plastic, it shields your engine and frame rails from rocks, debris, and casing impacts during aggressive off-road use; however, it is important to note that while it is highly durable, it may not withstand high-speed direct impacts on jagged rock surfaces as well as thick-gauge aluminum plates.

FAQs

Is this skid plate compatible with all bikes?

This specific model is designed for particular motorcycle fitments; please verify your bike's compatibility with the part number 0022309.090.

Does it require oil change removal?

Most models allow for standard oil changes, though you may need to remove the plate depending on your specific bike's drain plug location.

Can it replace an aluminum plate?

Yes, it serves as a lightweight alternative that offers superior impact absorption without the weight or permanent deformation of metal.

Does it include the hardware needed for install?

Yes, all necessary mounting hardware is included in the package.

How do I know if the plate is damaged?

Inspect the plate for deep cracks or significant gouges that expose the frame or engine; if structural integrity is compromised, it should be replaced.

Troubleshooting

Vibration or rattling noise after installation

Check all mounting bolts to ensure they are secure and verify that no debris is trapped between the skid plate and the frame.

Difficulties with bolt alignment

Loosely thread all bolts before tightening any single one to ensure the plate is properly centered.

Excessive surface scratching

Surface scratches are cosmetic and expected in off-road use; use a plastic renewal spray to maintain the aesthetic finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight compared to aluminum alternatives
  • Absorbs impacts without denting or deforming permanently
  • Provides excellent wrap-around coverage for the engine
  • Reduces vibration and engine noise
  • Simple, bolt-on installation process

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Acerbis Skid Plate is designed to be straightforward. Ensure your motorcycle engine is cool before beginning. Use the provided hardware to align the plate with the existing frame mounting points. Do not over-tighten bolts to avoid cracking the plastic. For care, simply wash the plate with soap and water after rides to inspect for any deep gouges. If the plate becomes covered in thick mud, remove it occasionally to clean the area between the skid plate and the engine case to prevent debris buildup that could retain heat or moisture.
