will a belly skid and a arm skids make your 450 sound different, cause mine almost sounds muffled

the skids may block out some of the vibration sound waves that your motor makes, making it sound muffled

but that would be my only explaination

Its vibrating. I thought the same thing on my Raptor. But it will go away...or you just get used to it

just put handelbar grips on you frame tubing..cut them in half and put the halfs where the skid touches the frame. same as the foam idea

I use weatherstrip on my skids. It eliminates noise from vibration. plus it does protects youre frame from getting skratche with the skid plate.

i have an ac full skid and the vibration was gettin annoying as hell so i got some foam tape and put it everywhere the frame hit the skidplate, and now i have no annoying noise.
