Well do to the cheap plastic swingarm skid i destroyed my rear rotor this weekend. It almost ruined the riding. Very suddend stop. Any recomendations for the skid and the rotor are welcome. Thanks in advanced.

 

First thing the dealer should have told you was to get ride of the stock skid plate. Look for a decent 1/4" thick skid. They all serve the same purpose. Next, RockyMountain ATV has TITAX rear rotors for raptors at 49.99. A new set of pads are recomended.

 

Yes try to get a 1/4 thick, I have a 3/16 and bent it where the rotor is. Not bad and bent it back, but bigger is better!

 

I've got the GYT-R skid plate. It's strong enough to anchor my wheelie bar.

 

GYTR skid plates are the best looking and are 1/4" thick. They also cost $169.00

You can get a 1/4" thick swing arm guard for $62.00 here.

 

Yea their pricey alright!! But I liked the way it looked & it suited my needs.
Also my dealer gives me a 20% discount on parts!

 

Rockymountain atv has the armadillo swingarm plate. Excellent and much cheaper than the Yamaha part. Its very strong. Like you, I learned the hard way.

Thanks for all the help guys. Yes i should have relpaced the skid much sooner I know

 

I run a full GYT-R skid set-up (swing-arm, chassis, a-arms, foot guards) and they are very sturdy. They seem to be a little overpriced compared to the competition, but I got mine as a package deal from the dealership that I bought my quad from. You might want to shop around (PRM, DG, OMF, etc), but as far as quality you can't go wrong with Yamaha aftermarket.

 

I've been running PRM stuff and been really happy. Their stuff is thick, almost always in stock and priced well. As for the rotor, just got a RAD stainless steel rotor for $79 and has been working great. good luck
