125-200cc Did your WR125 come with a skid plate?

My wife's bike did not come with a skid plate, but see them in your photos. Stock or aftermarket? The WR has made her riding skills increase exponentially...meaning she is hitting harder and harder trails. Time for some serious protection!

Thanks

My '09 WR125 came with an OEM plastic skid plate. I use a P3 Carbon Fiber one though, a very nice piece. http://www.pirieperfprod.com/p3skidplates.html

Yes OE skidplate, it's pretty tough too. Hit rocks a full speed no issues.

I like the OE skid plate on the 09 WR125. they are cheap through the dealer as well. You should have got one with your bike.

Shane broke his on a rock I think...

Big hole in it.

I cracked mine and I think i know when (as i looked down to make sure the motor was still there). Ordered another one (cheap) and have not put iot on yet as the other one is still hanging in there.

the 2010 TXC 250 comes with a real cool plastic one as well.

I sold my OEM one to a 15 year old kid who destroyed his OEM one racing hare scrambles.

Wonder what happened to the one that was supposed to come with my bike (err, wife's bike, haha)? Oh well...I will call the dealer for one. How much did you guys pay for the OE one?

thanks

That's a good question. I've heard of guys not getting the stock OEM lighting with their WRs too. Mine doesn't have the plastic plugs that cover the compression clicker screws in the bottoms of the fork legs that keep mud from packing in there.

Dealer asked me if I'd sell mine to his support rider, so he'd have it to race that weekend. He checked price, so we could come up with a used price. About $30 for the part new.

Interesting, I hope more critical parts are not being left off!

Thanks, that is really cheap. The TXC version looks pretty cool, but does not look like it will clear the expansion chamber mount on the left side.

Ditto my WR 125 with OEM. Still in good shape.

I would ruin that factory plate in one ride around here,Ill post up a pic of my motosportz skid plate after one season,totally thrashed

I drilled a 1" hole in mine so I can drop the gearbox oil...without having to remove it....its a real son of a gun to take on and off all the time....just to change oil

The '10 250 plates have one bolt on the front. The back is held in with tab molded into the back of the plate that basically slides/clamps over the frame. Sort of like tongue in groove. Easy to remove!

Is it legal to quote yourself? I broke one of the front plastic tabs reinstalling my plate after an oil change today. The bolts, spacers etc. are a pain. It seems like it would still stay in place without the front fasteners. I'll replace it though.
