Default How much abuse will the TB 400 take?

I love the way the TB hammers through the trails but I'm afraid all the jumping I do on it is going to take it's toll. My son thinks he has it all figured out. He thinks I should give him the 400 and trade his 250 in on a Predator. I did consider it but I really like the feel of the TB. I sat on a Predator at the dealership yesterday and it felt like sitting on a mini.

ive dumped my scrambler pretty hard a few times and didnt brake a thing..allthough my stearing post is bent,headlight bracket is bent,most of my bushing were shot,ive broke the rear axle but not from jumping i caught a tree with the rear tire at full speed thats why it broke..ive seen my brother catch a railroad tie while riding his sport and it threw him off the bike and then it flipped 6 times going down over the edge,he bent a couple things but nothing broke and he could still drive it back home..the scramblers and the sport are the same bike as the trailblazer pretty much..

i rode the 400 today its awsome, i love the speed and the power. but in a way i still like my 250 better. im tellin ya i do evrything with my 250 from jumping to running over trees, and i never broke a thing on it, i really beat it up. but other wise its a great machine, sporty and powerfull.

Don't get me wrong I love the bike. I just want to know if my riding style is to much for it. I like to take care of my toys and I don't want to trash it. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I know you can make these things eye popping fast but the suspension is my concern.

the suspension can be upgraded also,hsp performance sells fox struts for the front and a spring kit for all 3 shocks..works also sells some nice shocks for the polaris but they cost alot of money..if your happy with the ride now then just ride it till it brakes and upgrade from there
