Skid Plate on G14 ??
I noticed today while changing oil that there was 2 tabs in front of motor and 2 on back side too. These have rivets still in them like something had broken off. Did a G14 come with a skid plate under the motor ? Thought it might have the way these were positioned to protect the block. With rivets in the tabs it couldn't have ever been removed .

Re: Skid Plate on G14 ??
Bama, my G8 came with a light duty skid plate.
I drilled out the rivets with a 1/4" drill, then welded 1/4" nuts on the tabs on the swing arm. So I can remove the skid plate for maint or cleaning when I like!! Here is the best pic I have of it!! |

Re: Skid Plate on G14 ??
I agree on hitting a rock, the rear end hangs down even lower. There is a hole in mine to get to both drain plugs!!

Re: Skid Plate on G14 ??
On my G2 when I installed the V-twin I took it off and made the engine mounting plate big enough that the skid plate was no longer needed. I do however need to make one for protecting the rear end in mine.
If you ride rough trails with bigger rocks like I do protection for both is a must. |

Re: Skid Plate on G14 ??
Did yamaha have a plate to cover the rear end ? That sway bar is so low even with 22's It hangs on some things in the woods at times. They should have come up with something else for that. Guess it was meant for a soft grass golf course tho....LOL
