Firmly Guard
It protects you from forest road attacks and unintentional falls.
Compared to the lightweight aluminum products of other companies, the ZETA is a bit heavier, but the sturdiness of the ZETA makes it a very sturdy product.
If installed as is, it will resonate with the Frame and cause it to chatter.
So, I put a hard sponge tape on the Frame contact surface.
There is also a hole on the underside for Oilfor Replacement, so you don't have to remove it every time you change the oil.

Sturdy and simple design.
[How is it used?
When I switched from a SEROW225W to a used and reasonably priced SEROW250 a few years ago, I purchased these parts for mountain fun.
The Under Guard, which was standard equipment in the SEROW225 era, has become an option. After comparing Y's Gear and ZETA products, we chose this product, which is simple in form and seems to be easy to fix the board gold even in the event of a dent.
Was the one you received as per Image?
It is made of thicker aluminum than expected, and its sturdy construction betrayed me in a good way.
The product was more than Image.
Was the installation difficult?
Included Bolt & Washer4Quantity:The set is simply fastened to the bolt holes originally set in the SEROW250's underframe.
Installation alone takes only a few minutes.
How was your experience with it?
The guard coverage is wide and quite strong, and although it is prone to scratches, this is not a problem because that is what Under Guard is supposed to do.
I have deformed it many times in the past, but each time I correct it by hitting it with a gold hammer.
In Other People's Reviews. The reflected sound of the Engine is Large. However, with a little effort, the reflected sound can be reduced considerably.

Under GuardBody with Bolt and Washer 4Quantity:Set included, simple and easy to understand.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
It is not at all, and it is not as rugged and refined as those made by Y's Gear, but it is more powerful. Forest Roads & Difficult Areas Attack! It is my personal favorite design because of its feeling.

Point and hang of installation
As I mentioned above, I heard that the reflected sound of Engine etc. is strong, so in my case, it is sold at 100s etc. Gap Sponge tape is stretched on the inside of the guard to try to absorb reflected sound.
I installed it from the beginning when I purchased the product, so I don't know the difference before and after use, but I don't mind the reflected sound while driving, so I think it is effective. I think it is effective.
[Availability and clarity of the Instruction Manual
There is no Instruction Manual, but the name of the product tells the purpose of use, and it is hard to find a product that is easier to understand than this one. It is so easy to understand that it is hard to find a better product than this.
[Notes]
If you have replaced the pipe with an external exhaust pipe, it may interfere with the pipe depending on the type, so it may be a good idea to take countermeasures after lightly assembling the pipe temporarily in advance (it is said that the POWER BOXPipe made by SP Tadao does not interfere except for the very first lot).
[ITEMS TO BUY TOGETHER
If you are concerned about reflected sound, see above. Gap Tape made by Sponge." to try it on.
[Opinions and requests to Manufacturer
I bought a used SEROW250 that didn't have an Under Guard on it." Please continue to sell as much as possible.

Just in case.
[How is it used?
I bought this together with my CRF125F. I am still breaking in the bike and have not driven it in a way that makes me worry about the undercarriage.
Was the one you received as per Image?
It is thick enough, and the bracket attached to the frame makes it more secure.
Was the installation difficult?
It is not difficult, but it is a CHINA Motorcycle. I did it by standing it on the wall.
How was your experience with it?
I have only just installed it, but the fitting is good and it looks like I can run GunGun.
[Included Parts:were they on?
We had everything we needed for installation.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?

The construction is very careful and solid Guard, but there is interference with the exhaust pipe.
[How is it used?
OffRoad course driving
Was the one you received as per Image?
Lighter than expected.
Was the installation difficult?
The exhaust pipe interferes a little with the bolt. Also, the two front bolts and one rear bolt are positioned too tight, so be careful not to turn the bolt too far because the screws may be damaged if the bolt is not rotated.
How was your experience with it?
Large sturdy enough to climb over rocks and logs.
The fixed Bolt is designed to prevent the head from popping out.
Oil replacement is possible, but it is easier to remove the oil filter for oil filter replacement.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
None except interference with Exhaust pipe.
[Opinions and requests to Manufacturer
Please fix the interference Point with Exhaust pipe.

ZETA Zita Enduro Sucido Plate installation
It's well made and Covers the sides, so it feels secure. View detail
It needed to be processed.
I bought the OEM Skid plate because it was too expensive.
We considered SRC's, but it would require removing the Bolt under the Engine and then installing it.
We chose this one made by ZETA, which can be installed with 4 bolts.
Regarding installation, the Bolt enters at an angle, so the screw hole was likely to be damaged.
I ended up shaving 2mm off the Bolt hole at the back and installed it.
It may be an individual difference, but I was a little disappointed because it is not a cheap item.

Protect before receiving Damage
I bought it because I want to go Off.
Installation is easy once the Bolt on the Mount is removed.
As you can see from the other reviews, the bolt was very torqued up, so I had a hard time removing it.
SRC seems to have Rubber attached where the Frame hits, but Zeta doesn't come with it. I purchased a similar one from Home center and
I pasted it, I saw in Review that SRC interferes with PowerBox, so I went with Zeta.
The Engine sound seems to reflect and is a bit noisy. I think that if there is a hole at the bottom, the sound would escape and the weight would be reduced, but I wonder if it would lower the protection power.
Instruction Manual was attached.

Thick and sturdy! Even more secure!
*Motivation to purchase
When I purchased a new car, the shop optionally equipped Under Guard did not protect the entire surface of the down tube, and the down tube (especially the underside) was prone to wounds.
Installation
Remove the white plastic guard on both SIDE in front of the engine, loosen the 4 bolts of the aluminum under guard, and remove it.
0The lower side contained Spacer.
0Removal is not considered to be particularly difficult, since all that is required is to loosen the 6 Bolt.
0In my case, the installation had some Gap, and there was some more Clearance on the seat of the installation in front of the Down tube and on the ED Skid Plate.
The front of the down tube is supported by a 5mm aluminum spacer, while the lower side uses the same spacer used in the Option.
*Appearance after installation
The thickness of the plate was thick and it did not seem to dent easily as it had in the past.
The size of the guard became larger, and the area that could be protected seemed to increase.
*What I felt when I actually used it.
The area of the skid plate has been increased to cover the entire down tube, so the down tube no longer has a wound in it as it did before.
0They were running in a gare, from a large stone to a small stone, and they were very fast. Clunk!" The skid plate was bouncing back and forth with a sound. When I checked later, there was no particular sinking point, and when I removed the skid plate, it was not distorted as a whole, and there was no effect on the removal and attachment.
The Damage from the side was not guarded, so a hole was made in the hose. The Clamp is also deformed and coolant leaks out when the water temperature rises. Damage from the side is a must.

A must have if you want to play hard with CRF125F.
[How is it used?
CRF125F that I got to play HardEnduro.
OEMSteel seems to protect the engine from stepping stones, but when playing hard, I was worried about breaking the engine if it was hit under the engine by a large rock in a gully or roots in the woods, etc. So I decided to replace the engine with a sturdy skid plate. This is the minimum customization for CRF125F.
Currently, there are two choices for skid plates:Liquizo and ZETA. We chose ZETA because ZETA, which is a latecomer to the market, is not directly attached to the engine mount, but rather, the skid plate is attached after the mounting bracket is attached, which is a safe design.
After the installation, I don't know the effect as much because I don't hit under the Engine violently, but my sense of security has increased considerably.

Installed immediately after delivery. sorry Material on MD44:I was debating between OEM and ZETA, but decided to go with ZETA because of the design.
I have been using it for some time now and am satisfied with it without any problems.

I installed it along with the KLX conversion.
[How is it used?
I bought this together with the KLX125 wheels when I installed them on my Ditra 125.
I think this is a must-have for Enduro.
Was the installation difficult?
It is a simple product with a small number of parts, but it requires a hang for installation.
Fix the frame at four points, but do not try to attach all four at once, but loosely attach them one at a time.
How was your experience with it?
I haven't driven it yet, but it seems to protect me well enough.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
It would have been nice if it came with a rubber plate, etc. to put between the frame and the fixture.
If you install it as it is, the paint will surely come off.
If the paint peels off, it will rust, so measures must be taken.

It's a must for forest road touring.
[How is it used?
I don't really need it for commuting, but I bought it to protect the lower part of the car body when exploring the woods on my days off.
Was the one you received as per Image?
I wanted a shape that would protect the sides as well as the bottom of the vehicle, and Image is right.
Was the installation difficult?
I think anyone can do it because you only need to tighten 4 bolts.
How was your experience with it?
I went to the forest road as soon as possible, and I think it was effective enough to see the sound that hit Plate and the scratch that was attached after running.
Also, as for the reverberating sound, it certainly does. I think the feeling is different for each person, but I was not bothered that much.
[Included Parts:were they on?
Only the Bolt and Washer used for installation. I don't need anything else.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
I am satisfied enough, so there is nothing special.

[How is it used?
When I was 225, Guard was Standard Equipment, but when I got 250, it became Option...
I bought this because I need it to play in the woods and mountains.
Was the one you received as per Image?
When I purchased Under Guard, I took into consideration my own usage situation since it was released by several companies.
Personally "You go to the mountains to fall." For me, I think that "I want you to protect the sides as much as possible, not just the underside." In the end, I hesitated between YamahaOEM and ZETA because I thought, but I decided to make ZETA, which was cheaper than Webike at the time of purchase, Image was as it seemed to be sturdy.
Was the installation difficult?
There is a screw hole for installation on the SEROW Under frame itself, so just fit it there and tighten it with the included bolt.
How was your experience with it?
It is also thick and very durable, and the simple shape of the martial arts, so some scratches and dents are "We're on the off-road. I think it's a good feeling.

If you bought it thinking, you can install it without any problem.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
Simple and sturdy, and because of its simple shape, it can be easily deformed and tapped out from the reverse side (I have deformed it many times...)

Point and hang of installation
Do not tighten the bolts one at a time, but install all four bolts by hand and then tighten them evenly, etc. "Gap and screw holes don't fit!" You can prevent troubles like this. I don't think there is any problem.
[Availability and clarity of the Instruction Manual
The shape of the product itself is easy to understand and the installation position is "It's the only place!" I don't think it's a problem.
[Notes, Items to be purchased together].
Please note that there is a separate MODEL that is compatible with the 2018 and later Canister models, so please do not make a mistake when purchasing.
If you're worried about echoing sounds, you might want to buy Sponge tape, I've got some at Da0so. "Tape for doorways." purchased

Can be punched in
INSTALLATION:It was extremely easy to install as there is no gap in the mounting holes. There is also a hole for the drain hose to pass through, so there are no functional complaints.
Effect:I have confirmed that when driving on a gravel road, bouncing stones hit the car, but since the Plate absorbs the stones, there is no more direct hit to the engine. I haven't checked about the bottoming out, but I think it will protect more than a certain degree because of the thickness of the plate.
Price:Somewhat pricey.
Summary:I bought this to protect my Engine because there are many gravel roads in my neighborhood and I was worried about bouncing stones. It is well made and I think it will do more than enough to protect the engine and lower frame. The texture is not bad and the Plate does not look bad when installed on a motorcycle. The engine does get a little hotter than without it, and cleaning the mud between the plate and the engine can be a bit of a chore, but overall I am happy with it.
