Fitment issues and helpful installation tips. Watch this video to learn from my mistakes so it's easier for you. It can be done, but it's not as simple as some videos make it seem.

Note: on the 2024 790 Adventure you need to remove all 5 bolts on the underside of the stock skid plate to drop it.

Bunch of nonsense in the comments. Good content man… my AXP works great.

Is it reasonably easy to remove for oil changes?

@jac5431 6 ай бұрын

Yes. Once you get it on, then taking it off and putting it back on is very easy.

Just a heads up your crap flap needs to be mounted over the skid plate. It's going to melt the way you have it mounted. Yes I know form experience.

Nice install video, but it is a AXP skid plate (see the stickers), not Apex.

Yes, I screwed that up. I went into KZfaq to fix. It should be corrected now. Thanks though.

Just a heads up, they are junk if you actually wreck. Better off buying a metal one

I run AXP 8mm on my ktm 300. Had aluminium bash plate before and when hitting the rock the impact was transfered to the frame and bent it. With HDPE 8mm plate i didnt have any issue.

Looks like a plastic piece of junk!

I hear what you are saying. But it’s surprisingly strong and light weight. Way better than the stomach bash plate. I suppose it’s down to how hard you plan to ride off road. If the extra weight of bigger metal bash plate fits your riding style, then put one on. I ride pretty hard, so far no issues for me. It works great and light weight.
