Hi
I was wondering if anyone has a case saver and ever had to use it? Do they work?
Which is better Plastic or metal? Who makes the best case saver?

 

Doesn't every quad have one on from the factory?? And yes they do a world of good. If you snap a chain and it gets all bound up by the case, you will most likely have a jacked up case and have to replace it. My buddy almost lost his case on his YZ426 and that was with a case saver on.

 

Never seen a plastic one. It wouldn't hold up.

A case saver is essential equipment, just like skid plates, nerf bars, and a bumper. If you can't afford an aftermarket one, the stock one will do just fine.

 

Yea they come with them stock but my mojave has one and the chain just goes right through it like nothin ad was wondering if the aftermarket ones were any better

Not any Honda! I have seen plastic cover guards over the sprocket, but absolutely never a plastic case saver....

 

Hmmm? Then whats the 400ex and 450r come with?

They look to be steel. Not very pretty, but if you want bling there are some real fancy aftermarket ones.......

 

I have a TM Designs case saver on my YFZ 450. It's a hard material, not sure what the compound is, but it's not metal. I have thrown a chain 2 times completely:

1st time - Master link went. Didn't have a case saver on (STUPID!!!) about $2,000 later I had new cases on my motor....

2nd time - Was riding on a bent axle - carrier went, obviously... TM Designs case saver was on my quad this time... Totally did the job. Replaced nothing more then the case saver and my roller.

~~~

3rd situation - carrier went mid moto somehow - looked like a grenade went off inside - axle had about 1.5 inches of play. TOTALY should have thrown a chain hitting jups/cornering. I had added a sprocket guard to the quad. Chain stayed right in place.

I highly recommend a case saver and a sprocket gaurd. I will not ride/race without them...
