RACETECH Plastic Skid Plate for HUSQVARNA TC, TE 250, 300, KTM EXC, SX 250, 300 and GAS GAS EC 250, 300 2017-2023

The RACETECH skid plate is designed for KTM EXC 250, EXC 300, SX 250, HUSQVARNA TC 250, TE 250, TE 300 and GAS GAS EC 250, EC 300 from 2017 to 2023. 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.

Choosing the colour

The colour doesn't change the protection: pick it to match your bike's graphics.

When do you need it?

• Crankcases scratched or marked under the engine.
• Riding enduro, extreme enduro or rocky terrain.
• Old skid plate cracked, bent or with broken mounts.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Does a skid plate make the engine run hot?
A well-designed skid plate lets air circulate. Clear out the mud that builds up between the skid plate and the engine after every ride.

Plastic or aluminium?
Plastic is lighter and slides over roots and rocks; aluminium stands up better to violent impacts. This skid plate's material is given in the specifications.
