Installing an Amazon Skid Plate on the Yamaha TW200. The quality is surprising!

- We wanted better protection for the TW200, but heard a lot of horror stories about the Ricochet skid plate being super loud, and not allowing airflow which can lead to overheating.
We went with an Amazon knock off brand, Xitomer, because it has the same general shape and coverage as the Ricochet skid plate, but it has airflow holes cut into the plate which we hope will offer better airflow and less engine noise. After riding around, I believe it is a winner!

hey dude awesome vid! with this vid being few months old, have u had a chance to put this skidplate through the ringer? if so, how tough is it and how much of a beating can it take in ur opinion?
Thanks! I wouldn’t say we have put it through the “ringer” since we aren’t great at riding off road yet but we have taken it off road a handful of times since the skidplate has been installed and it has handled some tree roots and rocks getting kicked up no problem. The TW has even run into a tree during a hill climb and gotten stuck on the skidplate edge, and I don’t think it has shown any weakness yet.
It is a beefy plate, in my opinion it holds its own against any of the other well known brands.
thanks a lot for the info! very helpful@@ADHDiy_Guy
Pretty sure it’s actually a clone of the Bradley performance standard duty skid plate
Thanks for your support!
Hey! Keep making good products and I will gladly promote them!
Could I interest you in a sponsorship agreement? I will gladly install and review any parts you want to send my way!
@@ADHDiy_Guy Thank you very much for your reply. I found that you have two motorcycles? Could you tell me the year of them? I would like to make a record. We will develop relevant models of accessories in the future, please help us review them.
My Ducati Scrambler Desert is 2022, and the Yamaha tw200 is also 2022, but that should be pretty much the same since 2001.
@@ADHDiy_Guy Okay, thankyou very much.
How do you compare noise and heat vs stock ?? Im looking at the same one because it has the holes and i like the black color
Great question, I would say that the volume ranges anywhere from “not noticeably louder” to 10% louder, give or take. Really not bad.
The heat is no different in my experience. It can still be hot and radiate heat, but it did that with the stock skid plate too. The airflow through the skid plate holes really must help with wicking the heat away underneath so it isn’t trapped with nowhere else to go but up.
After many scrapes and bumps, and an easy removal for an oil change since I installed it, it’s been 10/10 - would recommend.
Nice video I’m getting ready to order a skid plate for my tw did you notice any sound deflection with this one
Not noticeably at all, I was expecting it to be at least a little bit louder and was just hoping for “quieter than the ricochet plate” and honestly it is probably the same as stock because the sound has somewhere to escape to. If it is louder, you would need another tw200 right next to it for comparison in order to even notice.
@@ADHDiy_Guy just ordered one thanks your video sold me
You won’t regret it! Let me know how you like it once you get it installed!
Was going to ask about the noise as well. Thanks!
Link?
Let’s see if this link actually posts.

I was going to say that UA-cam doesn’t let you post links as a content creator until you reach at least 100 subscribers, but then I saw I am at 101! So we should be all good.
No thanks.. actually don't make very good sense.
What doesn’t make very much sense? Installing a skid plate? My voice? My instructions? How could it be better?
