Crankcase Protection

Protect the heart of your motorcycle with sump guard

The sump guard - also known as a skid plate - protects the underside of your motorcycle from flying stones, curbs, and other obstacles. This is an essential part, especially for all-road and adventure motorcycles, but it also prevents costly damage to the engine block on naked and touring bikes. A sump guard is therefore a smart investment in the lifespan and reliability of your motorcycle.

Why sump guard is important

The crankcase and oil pan are vulnerable parts. A hard impact or stone chipping can lead to leaks or cracks in the engine block - resulting in high repair costs. Sump guard prevents this by absorbing and distributing the impact. The benefits:

• Protection of crankcase and engine block against stones, branches, and curbs.
• Prevents oil leaks and engine damage upon contact with the ground.
• Made of sturdy aluminum or steel for maximum durability.
• Specific fit per motorcycle model for optimal protection.

Different types of sump guards

Depending on the type of motorcycle and riding style, various versions are available:

• Standard sump guard: light and compact protection for street bikes.
• Adventure skid plates: robust protection with extra coverage for off-road use.
• Full motorcycle protection: combinations of sump, frame, and exhaust protection for maximum security.

Most guards come with a mounting kit and fit directly onto the original mounting points of your motorcycle.
