i popped my shoulder out fo the socket one time wen i came down froma landing off a jump...i was goin at the ground almost face first and i thouhgt the quad was gonna hit hte bumper straight into the ground but luckily it ddidnt or id prob be in a wheelchari rihg tnow it was the scariest thing cuz i was miles from my house and my shoulder just popped out of hte socket and i was just like oooo no and kinda shrugged my shoulder and popped it back in. that was some baddddd pain for about a week

 

OUCH......now if i bent the steering steam near where te bars come out could i heat it up and but it back to almost normal to get bu with it..this things been rolled on its bars once befor by mi mom....it disnt bend the stem but this time i did and was wournding if i could tear it down and heat it up and bend it back some what to normal???

 

what part of the stem did u bend? the tubing or mounting spot?

 

from what it looks like i bent the tube ill try to put some pic up tomorrow after skool

 

I'm not sure if I'd trust the stem if you heat it. It can harden it and make it crack easier. I had to put a stem in my Scrambler and it was a little over $100 CDN so it should be cheaper in US funds. I would try to bend it back first. Take your bars out of the stem and put in a long bar, then put a piece of pipe on the bar. Get someone to steady the bike and pry it back into place. This worked on the last Raptor I crashed LOL but I don't know how long I'd trust it.

I hope you were wearing a skid lid!!!!

 

yea mi skid lid was on...mi mom put it on its side 2 years ago and bent the stem alittle bit but i drover it like that for 2 years with bent bars but i think what im gona do is get diffrent bars and just replace them.....how do u pull the stem jw??

 

well its good your ok, my friends cousin had it much worse on a 450r- nosedived and it front flipped and landed on his back, he couldn't drive home so he even lay there for a while

 

Just a few. It was cold out, so I had on a heavy sweatshirt and pants. If it was in the summer, I would have been worse off.
