kfx 700 cracked rear diff.

Has anyone seen or heard of this happening yet. I cracked mine after bottoming out on a jump. If you are looking at the rear of the bike it is on the left side straight down from the shock mount. Had a person that races GNCC say it was the third one he had seen do this. Guess i'm off to the dealer for some warranty work!!!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

Been there done that,, only it was on my 650 Prairie! Split the axle housing from one side to the other and the jump wasn't a big one either!

It wasn't a very big junmp at all. It was that kind of launched the bike straight up without a whole lot of forward momentum. I've jumped alot higher but with alot more forwarm momentum when I landed so it was smoother.

Prairiewrech, did the waranty cover yours OK?

Anyone had there rear shock rebuilt? Or do you think it is worth it?

Deamon-- Are you Big Al's alter ego?LOL
Talk to QuadCrew. Doug said that a P-650 was delivered to Hine's from the FACTORY with a cracked hsng. The crack was on the opposite side, though.
I was "watching" mine, the REST of the weekend!

Yes It's me. Big Al was taken here. Heard about the one being delivered to Hinds that way when I took mine in. They looked at mine and said it looked like a defective housing to them because of where and how it cracked. Bad news is I'll be without my bike for at least two weeks.

Seen a few 650 Prairies like this... love to jump mine... put on a custom 3 shock rear suspension, the rear reinforcing ring from the V Force, & a custom brace for the left side ... don't have to worry about that problem any more...WAM
