Has anyone ever broken or bent the rear shock mounts and bolts. I did yesterday. I have questions about taking the swingarm off. I don't know how to get the axel out of the swingarm, and I lost my manual so I can't even adjust my chain. The broken bolts really surprised me I wasn't landing all that hard probably going harder through the whoops at the bottom than the jump off the top. I was hitting a jump pinned in fourth over and over with a few bikes I was going just as far just not quite as high. The travel was so great on the swingarm that the chain hit the subframe, the pipe dented from the swingarm, and the nipple on the resovoir for the shock broke off. Is there a way to get more travel from the rear or should I go for a shock revalve and a tighter spring.

 

my chain hits the sub frame all the time, my shock bolts are like horse shoes, i have them but haven't replaced them yet, tonight might be a good time lol.
