Templar 250 skid plate
5 Attachment(s)
I found a skid plate that fits the base Templar pretty well all things considered. Unfortunately they sent me blue when I ordered black so I need to exchange it but since I had it I tested the fitment and it ain't bad. The included mounting bracket works and it looks pretty good on the bike. There is a hole in the back that lines up with a frame crosstube and can be attached with a zip tie. The base Templar frame gets much wider at the foot pegs so it will fit better if I heat up the plate and flatten it a little or cut away a bit in that area.
I was considering making one from a HDPE cutting board but this is a lot less work. I wish I had a heat gun but maybe I can use a propane torch instead. Let me know what you think about the fitment. The skid plate is Cycra SKU: 1CYC-6206-12 and fits 2010-2013 Yamaha YZ450F. |
I made one for mine out of 1/8" Aluminum, added some to the sides in front of the shifter/brake pedal, to add a little more protection.....don't have any pics, but will try to get some

I like it. I never thought of a plastic one for some reason. Definitely need a color swap there though. :)

I used the Cycra plate for an 05-19 YZ250.. it fits well except it needs some foam or delrin spacers in front to be able to tighten up.

My new black skid plate is done. I had little success bending it with heat so I ended up cutting it instead. It fits pretty well with the included mounting bracket and a zip tie at the rear. It's not the best skid plate ever but it's a helluva lot better than no skid plate. I added a hole so I can change the oil without removing the skid plate. Cost: $65

Have you ridden with the new plastic skid plate? The stock plate on a templar X sounds like a bad hail storm on some loose gravel. Be nice to quiet that down a bit.
Also think it would fit over the stock plate? Nothing like double protection. :) |

Edit: Rode a little today and can't tell the skid plate is even there. None of that metal skid plate resonance and reflected sound waves. |
