Guys, from the looks of some of your pictures it looks as if you are not running your rear skid plate, I have seen a few of your guads without it on but I can not remember who's they were. Is this safe to do or did you guys just have it off for the picture. Also if I do decide to take mine off and not use it would I have to get and install a chain slide. Thanks alot.

I think you would only rmove it if you were gonna be riding the dunes or on the track dont think you want to dare take it off then hit the woods/trails first stump/rock you hit your sprocket and rotor would be finish

DONT remove it if you plan riding sand with any soft sand/ruts. The sand gets in your chain and makes the chain skip teeth on the sprocket, seriously damaging things...Just leave it on, it doesnt hurt anything...

ive rode mine on some really rough trails and it didnt damage anything. cept the rotor aint to smooth around the edges. but i wouldnt recommend doing it.
