Default anybody else crash their V????

i've dumped mine pretty big about four times. now that i've removed many of the brackets and trimmed the plastic i'm not breaking fenders anymore. BUT each time i bend that top bar on the frame that the steering stem bolts to, bends the stem too. anyone else running into this? i'm thinking of welding some supports on this seemingly cheesy design. what kind of metal are these frame made of? thanx-Sean[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

yeah, I have had that same thing happen too. Minor crash but it bent the steering stem and the frame back. I would agree on the cheesy design. Traded mine in on the YFZ. I do miss the ease of the v-force. It was a great machine and fast.

Ride hard & keep the rubber side down.

yeah, i figured that the first one to pull off a backie on a quad, let alone on a V, would surely get to be in the next huevos video.hehe. no, a couple of times my tires caught up mid-slide up on a bank of course, pitching me off and sending my kawi dancing down the hill. this last time i came down off a hill in a wheelie, didn't hit the whoops right and stuffed my front tires into one of them. don't remember much else, but the ambulance ride, the contusion,concution and my broken wheeler. i'm almost back to the front though, jus' gotta get the quad back into shape. anyone know what kind of metal the frame is for real?
thought about trading it for a yammi 450, but i like it too much. gonna hang on to it and try to buy a yammi too. -Sean [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
