B) hey everyone, I was wondering how strong the skid plate on the 450r is . I need a response quick I am making my orders now.thanks in advance

Its not very strong, if your going to do some xc racing or hard riding get an aftermarket unit.

well speek of the devil lol, well i say that cuz today i put a tiny crack in my stock one, right at the end where it folds down to a lib, no biggy i think it caught a rock cuz i was riding some pretty nasty trails with deeps ruts, they back end dragged alot, the other 3 guys had 2 dirtbikes and a kodiak, so i was having the hard time lol, but yea other then that the skid plate has help pretty good, its take a good hit to brake it man.
