GIVI Skid Plate DL1050 20> *not XT

The Givi RP3117 is a model-specific engine skid plate for the Suzuki V-Strom 1050, shaped to follow the lines of the bike and give the big adventure tourer a more purposeful, off-road look. It shields the vulnerable underside of the engine — including the sump area, exhaust headers and oil filter — from rocks, ruts and debris thrown up on gravel, dirt and rough sealed roads.

It suits V-Strom 1050 riders who tour on mixed surfaces or venture onto unsealed roads and want proper underbody protection without a workshop visit. Everything needed for fitting is supplied, and installation is done with simple hand tools.

Please note: this plate is not compatible with the V-Strom 1050 XT.

Confirm your bike is a standard V-Strom 1050 and not the XT version before fitting — the plate is not compatible with the XT.
Fit using the supplied brackets and hardware with simple hand tools; make sure the plate sits square and does not contact the exhaust, hoses, cables or radiator lines.
Re-check all fasteners after the first ride and periodically after that, particularly following off-road use where vibration and impacts can loosen mounts.
Rinse off mud, sand and road salt after riding on unsealed roads or in wet conditions, then dry the plate and brackets to limit corrosion.
Clean with mild soapy water and a soft cloth or brush; avoid harsh solvents and abrasive pads that can mark the aluminium or damage the powder-coated brackets.
Inspect the plate and mounts regularly for dents, cracks, elongated bolt holes or bent brackets after any significant impact, and replace damaged parts rather than riding on them.
Remove the plate if it restricts access when changing the engine oil or oil filter, and refit it to the correct alignment afterwards.
Touch up deep scratches or chips on powder-coated brackets to prevent rust taking hold.
Do not use the skid plate as a jacking or lifting point for the motorcycle.
