Went for a little ride today and ended up flipping my 400 on a steep hill. Now I have bent bars and a bent steering stem. At least I think it is called a stem. The bars bolt on it and it runs from the bars to the tie rods. Any idea on what to purchase as an upgrade? I would like something stronger and maybe increase steering perforance if possible.

I did that job two months ago. I flipped my 250 end over end two times due to riding up too steep of a hill. Bars, bushings and step ran @ $100.00 from Polaris. If you want better bars check Renthal.

Go with a hotseat stem for $189.99 and you might as well get the bushing to for $34.99. Then also have nice handle bars they are just like rethals.. If you want a stem order it soon cause then say then dont have thm very long and the last time i talked to them they just got more.

Don't even think of putting a stock steering post bushing back. They wear out in 1-2 months. Go with the $35 upgrade, they last forever.
