RACETECH Plastic Skid Plate - Black for BETA RR 350, RR 390, RR 430, RR 480 2020-2024

The RACETECH R-PMBETNR4520 skid plate is designed for BETA RR 350, RR 390, RR 430, RR 480 from 2020 to 2024. Mounted under the engine, the skid plate takes the hits instead of the crankcases and the frame. In enduro and on rocky terrain it's essential protection; in motocross it also limits wear on the bottom of the frame.

The skid plate is specific to each frame: check the model and years. A plastic skid plate is light and slides well over obstacles; an aluminium skid plate stands up better to violent impacts.

Fitting tips

1. Clean the bottom of the engine and frame, and check the condition of the mounting points.
2. Offer up the skid plate and start its fasteners without tightening, checking that it touches neither the gear lever, nor the brake pedal, nor the hoses.
3. Tighten the bolts gradually, then check that nothing rubs with the suspension compressed.
4. Check that everything is still tight after the first few rides: vibration can loosen the fasteners.
