I was just wondering if anyone else bent the rear axle on a 250ex. My brother bent his and I don't see how. It's a short thick axle, and doesn't look easy to bend.

 

i think you got a first there bud. my friend rolled his god knows how many times and it never bent. hell i even rolled it a few times and it didnt bend.

 

That's what I thought. The stock axle looks thicker than the axle on my warrior and about half as long, and he still managed to bend it somehow. He's getting a durablue eliminator put on it now so i'm hoping that he doesn't manage to bend that somehow.

 

How bad is it bent? My mojave axle is just slightly bent but its not bent so bad i can't ride...

 

the end of the axle spins off-center by about an inch. It's not that bad that it can't be ridden but we're worried it'll bend more when we're up at Rausch Creek and then it won't be rideable

 

Maybe you could find a cheap one on ebay or something too

good luck man

 

we already have the durablue eliminator, we decided on spending the extra money over a stock axle so we don't have to worry about it getting bent again.

 

i thought my z250 was bent for awhile

 

I might have an idea how he bent the axle. I have a 250EX and I got my rear axle bent because my friend and I were riding at night and he was coming straight at me and he wouldn't get out the way for some damn reason so I tried to get out of the way by turning right and then he hit my rear left wheel and flipped the ATV he was riding. The next day I was riding my 250 and found out that my axle got bent from that. That could be how he did it but I don't know for sure.

 

or he could have bumped somethn like a tree
