a buddy of mine got a new 2007 outlaw 525 irs he has had it for acouple of months now ans that irs setup is JUNK he is about 150 lbs wet and he jumps something and it bottoms out the half shaft broke a 7k quad that brakes in a short time it shouldnt have this kinda problems has anyone else had or have the same problems with theres ??????

 

i got mine about 6 months ago, ive rode mine through hell and back, ive jumped it well over your head and it hasnt even needed a tire aired up. he must have gotten an deffected one or he dogs the s**t out of it, you can be too rough on a quad. ive never heard of these problems out of an outlaw, i mean the ground clearence is like 11 inches, thats hard to bottom out unless you jumping a sky scraper...

 

he doesnt jump real high its like the shocks aint workin right or something cant figure it out hes not all that hard on it he mostly just rides around in thew field and wheelies alot other then that nothing

 

I'm guessing that it's an operator malfunction and nothing about the quad is junk. He must have the suspension adjusted as soft as he can get it. I've never heard of anyone else having a problem like that.

 

he hasnt messed with the suspension at all i dont think its operator malfuction like you say damn thing just crap the only good thing on it is the motor cause its not polaris

 

it must be a bad one out of the bunch, ide put mine up against anything...

 

idk just have to fix it then see what happens

 

Something doesn't sound right.

If you land angled on an SRA quad the axle take the first hit, but it is not like that on the IRS. Unlike a SRA quad the Axle on an IRS is not taking any of the landing force on a jump. The shocks are hooked up to the rear a-arm. The a-arm takes the hit from a big jump. The only way an axle would break on an IRS on a jump would be from tire speed/scrub. Even then never heard of an axle breaking on an Outlaw IRS>

 

yeah what does this guy gun it in mid air or somthing?

 

If he did gun it and the wheel goes from 60 down to 10 miles an hour in an instant and the axle breaks, is that because it's junk, or is it an operator malfunction? There's got to be <u>something</u> that we aren't hearing about, or else it's a one in a million bad axle, since NO ONE has ever heard of this problem. And how does a lightweight like that bottom out the suspension on a jump anyway? Is he jumping buildings? If his shocks are blown and he keeps jumping it, what does he expect?
