2018 Yamaha Sidewinder MTX 162 Build

I’m doing the full skid plate from Yamaha and I’ll get a piece of aluminum bent aswell to cover just the drop down portion. So then I’ll have 1/4” stock plastic guard + 1/4” skid plate + 3/16” aluminum. Will have to bounce off a boulder before it damages the case again.

If you are doing a complete skid plate are you going to cover the brake side also, I banged a rock on mine coming out of salmon causing major noises. Replaced with new cheap cover but will be looking into covering the chaincase and the brake now

 

[Xmrider163]

Yep might do a 2” piece of aluminum as added protection. Simple bolt on for peace of mind.

She’s ready to go heading out 23rd for a quick day trip hoping everything goes smoothly this time. And then a 26,27,28 ride aswell if this short day trip goes well.

Apparently Yamaha has a metal break and chain case guard to replace the factory plastic ones.....

Anyone know what the part numbers might be and the approx $$$$?

 

[Xmrider163]

When you find out I’ll take that part # also and put them on under my skid plate.

That would be the ultimate.

Well I’ve been out a couple times now since the whole chaincase situation and sleds been great and pulls hard 62MPH with the Stage 4 kit. One trip to Revy hit some good snow solid 3 feet fresh. And just got home from Renshaw and rode 1-2 feet both days.
