A skid plate is a cover for the bottom parts of your motorcycle that protects it from road debris or tough terrain1. It can protect your frame, motor, exhaust, and oil pan from getting damaged2. A skid plate attached via damped springs would add more weight and complexity to your motorcycle, and might not be as effective as a rigid skid plate in absorbing impacts. A damped spring system might also interfere with the suspension or steering of your motorcycle. Some motorcycles have a damping system integrated into their clutch plates, such as the Husqvarna TX 3003, but this is for better traction and durability, not for skid plate protection.

A skid plate attached via damped springs would not be as effective as a rigid skid plate in absorbing impacts because it would allow more movement and deformation of the skid plate. A rigid skid plate is designed to be stiff and strong enough to withstand impacts and protect the underlying components of your motorcycle1. A damped spring system would reduce the stiffness of the skid plate and make it more prone to bending or breaking under stress. A damped spring system would also introduce more complexity and weight to your motorcycle, which could affect its performance and handling. Damping is a technique that is used to reduce vibration and noise in some systems, such as pipes2 or shocks3, but it is not suitable for skid plate protection.

This answer doesn't make sense. A motorcycle's wheels are attached to the frame via damped springs and engineers aren't worried about those things being more prone to bending or breaking under stress. What makes skid plates any different?

A motorcycle’s wheels are attached to the frame via damped springs, also known as suspension systems, to provide comfort and stability for the rider and to improve the traction and handling of the motorcycle. The suspension systems are designed to absorb shocks and bumps from the road and to adjust to different terrain and speed conditions. The skid plates are attached to the frame to protect the engine and other components from rocks, debris, and obstacles that might damage them. The skid plates are not designed to absorb shocks or bumps, but to deflect them. Therefore, they need to be rigid and strong enough to withstand impacts without deforming or breaking. A damped spring system would not provide any benefit for skid plate protection, but would add unnecessary weight and complexity to the motorcycle.

Absorption and deflection are two different ways of dealing with sound or energy waves. Absorption means that a material takes in some or all of the energy of the incoming wave and converts it into another form, such as heat1. Deflection means that a material reflects or redirects some or all of the energy of the incoming wave without changing its form2. For example, when sunlight strikes the Earth, some of it is absorbed by the land and water and turned into heat, while some of it is deflected by the clouds and atmosphere and bounced back into space2. Similarly, when sound waves hit a material, some of them are absorbed by the material and turned into vibrations, while some of them are deflected by the material and bounced back or scattered1. Absorption and deflection have different effects on the quality and quantity of sound or energy waves. Absorption reduces the intensity and amplitude of the waves, while deflection changes the direction and frequency of the waves. Absorption can be used to control noise and improve sound quality by eliminating unwanted echoes and reverberations. Deflection can be used to protect structures and components from damage by preventing impacts and shocks from reaching them.
