I just wanted to ask you guys if any of you have broken your swingarm before. I was riding at a low speed and felt what I thought was a broken chain. Stopped looked at my case it wasn't broken, Great!! Wrong instead of a broken chain my swingarm broke completely in half where the shock mount is. The good part of this is I now have 4-wheel steering, HA HA[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Anybody had this happen to them and if so how much did this cost. I see knew swingarm bearings, both sprockets, chain, swingarm, and who knows what else. Does any know of a aftermarket swingarm that might be stronger, or lighter. So in closing I ask you all to take a moment of silence, this is a very sad day for one scrambler owner.

 

Hotseat, Aaen performace and the Arizona bad boyz make the from chromoly, lighter and stronger![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Man that sucks hope mine dont do that... Do you jump yours alot or something??? Check out hotseatperformance they have swing arms.. O yeah your not the first one i have heard of this more then once...

 

is there a weld right in the middle where its breaking...?
kinda sucks... do you jump alot?

 

Dang, I gotta tell my brother to stop jumping his. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

No there is no weld where it broke. I don't really go big but do do quite a bit of two feet high jumps over whoops and little kickers. I can't believe it broke it really shouldn't of for the riding I was doing last night. I wonder if I could actually weld this back together. I don't have a digi camera or I would load up some pictures to give you all nightmares tonight. Has anyone switched out for an aftermarket swingarm and if so which company and most importantly $$$$.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

 

Your riding the last time probably was not the reason it broke. It probably was weakened over time by the jumping and it had had enough. Jay
