2026 YZ 450

I ordered one for a 2025 and trimmed it to fit. 

I used an angle grinder with 60-grit flap sand wheel, trimmed the areas with the red arrows down (weld is lower on 2026) and the area with the blue arrow I made wider to not rub against the frame. Did the same on the other side to clear the ignition cover a bit better. 

Kinda surprised how long it’s taking for parts to get made for this bike. I got one in August of last year and have had to get creative on some things. 

I don't mind the acerbis one on my 24. Pretty easy on and off.

I have the big honkin' Acerbis skid plate and it sure loves to pile up with dirt/mud. I only take it off when I do oil changes so it's always filled with junk. I'm not sure if a smaller profile plate would be better for that but I kind of wish I had one. It's also the first skid plate I've ran so that might just be a normal thing that I'm complaining about. It is quite easy to remove and reinstall, and I do end up pressure washing it and the underside of the bike when I choose to do an oil change. 

On the upside, the tabs Acerbis plates have that cover the footpeg pivots is a great design. I haven't had my pegs sticking straight up after dragging through a rut. 

Put some foam between the plate and the bike and it will keep a lot of the dirt and mud out.
