hey guys, i have had my vforce for less than a month and my left tierod is already bent. shouldnt this be covered under warranty?? Or should i just buy better aftermarket ones?? thanks

 

nope it is "normal" wear...buy aftermarket

 

My buddys bent too. We bent it out straight until he could get another. Buy a good strong one but no expensive. It will bend again.

 

do you guys know of a good place to get them. i seen a couple on ebay. thanks again!!!

 

Stay with stock ones,if you get the bada$$ ones they will cause more damage than good.The stocks are $15 at the dealer, I keep a spare one in my truck when I go riding.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

if i stay with the stock ones am i going to be replacing them every month. i didnt do any hard riding. i jumped it a few times but only about 5 ft. i only have about 12 hours on it. i think that is rediculous.

 

I have read where several guys have reinforced theirs with a piece of metal tubbing over the stock rods. Do a search I think it was on this forum.

 

I have had mine for almost a year and have not bent one yet.

 

i use to watch mine bend when going around a corner hard but it always went back straight. last time however it just bent and stayed there. straighten it and it bent again.

 

Think someone posted this site a while back as having
Tie rods for a good price.. not sure if its the right part
as I cant find the part # on the Kawasaki web page
