Default Which Axle????

I'm thinking about getting a new axle for my Z400. What are your opinions on Durablue, Lone Star, G-Force, Etc.

Lonestar is the best combination of strength and price. If you think you are going to be airing the quad out a lot, look for an x33 or an rpm.

lonestar is the way to go, durablue only has a lifetime warranty on the first axle, after that anytime you have to replace one they will charge you cost on the axle $140, lone star will replace everyone you ever replace without question, g force is no good, RPM is a good axle has a good lifetime warranty but is rather expensive

Lonestar's axle warranty isnt transferrable.
Almost no one even knows about the gforce yet, how do you know its junk?
RPM makes the strongest axles, and have the best warranty. You get what you pay for.

i am not sure what you are speaking when you say transferable, but there is no axle out there that will transfer the warranty if you buy it used or if you go on ebay othere thean a dealer on ebay, the g force has no lifetime warranty and is a entry level budget friendly axle. of course you are going to get what you pay for like with shocks the more it cost the better the shock. that isnt the case with some products but with most atv products that is the case but i still preach the lonestar but that is my preference because i am loyal to there products, but othere then that i do have a buddy that has a g-force and it is a good looking axle but he has a six month warranty on his and it has been replaced already they may have changed, but he bent it hitting a stump that we ride over every day. but please be more specific on what you mean by non-transferable

You need some locktite on that axle nut mucky, and you have to make sure your set screw is turned in all the way.
