this was first brought to my attention by a pic from fred55 on exriders, his bolt was very bent... then a few other posted back saying they had the problem too.. not sure if its been said here, but if i were you id check yours.. mine was bent... so might be a good idea to take it out and replace it with a much stronger one.
this is only of course if you like to jump.. if you just ride in trails it shouldnt be much of a problem.

 

Now instead of the bolt bending, the tabs on the swing arm will snap off. Especially on hozed's cuz we all know he has such good luck. LOL J/K hozed [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Stock is grade 5. Upgrade to at least grade 8, or my fave Titanium (Mettec.com), and remove the worry.

Ride 'em hard, but make sure to give the quad some TLC when you're done.

 

you know me too well... lol


i was gonna ask for the highest grade i could get even if they had to order it... i got a few more days before the motor will even be back together so i can wait...
