swingarm skid plate

[moshachusetts]

i just broke off and lost my third swingarm skid plate! any one else have this problem? i've had one on my 400ex for 3 years with no problems. damn yfz mounting bolts are too small and snap too easy. now i gotta get the broken studs out. time to order gt thunder sprocket guard instead.

I agree, the mounting bolts suck! I drilled all mine out with a 3/8 drill and put some 3/8-16 bolts through, locktighted the nuts on and havnt had any issues since.

I may have to do that! I got 2 broken bolts in my rear skid as well. Next thing I hit, its probably comming off.
