All I have to say is that 2 different on line parts catalogs show the same axles in the 400, 500 and 650, at least the part number is the same. Now thats for 2005, I didn't check the 2004 models.
Being bore this AM due to heavy fog and low 30s temps preventing a ride I looked up the axles again. There is a difference in the 400 and 500 axles compared to the 650 in the 2005 model line. However the axles in 2005 on all 3 machines are the same, so there has

I would think that the upgraded axles on the 400 and 500's would have to do with reliability, would they not? I mean bigger and stronger axles means less chance of breaking them.

Yeah or he is real tough because he's lasted a long time at making mistakes. Gee that could be me. I've been as stupid and dumb as anyone out there but and it's a big one, I was either smart enough to survive or lucky enough. I'll tell you how I can tell the smart part from the lucky parts. I have a lot of scars and parts of the body that don't work right anymore from the lucky times. The smart parts are just memories of some pretty wild rides that ended in a crash or whatever. How about a 110 mph blowover in a 16 foot boat, just a wild memory as I was strapped in the latest safety capsule and walked (swam actually) way from a totally destroyed boat. The capsules were still optional until the following year. The reason was that in 5 years we lost 5 racers in accidents once the speeds went over 100 mph. So being dumb is fine if you want to limp and hurt a lot when you get older, that is if you do. I lost several friends to being stupid on their part. Fortunately for me I don't have to live with knowing I killed someone from being stupid by an action on my part. So MYTRX250EXISBEST, when you live long enough to have a lot of memories, scars and limps, etc then I might just think you know what you are talking about, but then again you have to survive and at this point it is doubtful.

For the last time dude get over yourself I am sure there are people in the world that have done stupider and wilder stuff then you have. My friend have you ever heard of Evil Keneviel? Got rich by doing these dumb and wild things. Though he has paid the price asw many others that follow up will.

Isn't interesting that you guys first tell me I'm a pansy and have more accidents because I'm old and perfect. Now you bitch because I not perfect and have had accidents and lived. Damn, I wish I was young again so that no matter how stupid I acted or how stupid the things I said I would still be smarter than everyone else. That's because I would have no experience to base the "smartness"on. It must nice to never see your own faults. Forrest Gump had it right about you guys.

.... Forrest Gump had it right about you guys.
Bear - ya gotta let the cheap remarks go right past you. Nobody changes anybodys mind in these forums - and nobody is going to make some punk kid a man that is respected by other men by telling him how stupid he is. You can even show them how stupid they are and they wont beleive what they see in the mirror.

You and I both know that the dissrespectful youth will never accomplish anything greater then their drivers license so please don't expect more then that. You and I may have done some pretty spectacular stunts in our time - but that was for our types - not theirs. We know to bow when passing the grave yard.

Some people watch things happen, Some people make things happen. Thats the way its always been.

If anything - at best you can only hope to awaken people to information they don't have - and pray that they are smart enough to change their own minds.

Ironic isn't it .
