Well my luck has been very low lately. I had just fixed my clutch and it runs great. Today the temps are in the low 80s so I went out to enjoy a ride. I've needed new rear tires for awhile, which this has reminded me today... I was cruising maybe 20mph through one of my trails, then i take very slight turn and the rear end slid a little and I bumped into a tree, breaking the arm in the right rear wheel of the suspension. Once hitting it the whole quad did a 180 and died, I hung on strong enough because I had a feeling it was going to hit the tree. Now the wheel is tucked under, and just when I thought I got out of an expensive repair... this s*** happens... Well heres some pictures, i'm going to need to wait for my bud to get home from work to come help me tow it home, atleast its not too far from home.











and the tree that f'd me up


So this is going to be my next repair project... damn it!!

 

man you've had nothing but bad luck w/ that rig. lucky you didnt get hurt. loos like the bolts broke in the A arms. good luck w/ itas you must be going

 

Man, I hope things work out for you.

 

Man I hope everything works out for you! I'm sure a repair is really expensive luckily I've never had to go there yet. P.S. Your tires don't look that bad. Ken Kinsey Atlanta Mich.

 

Wow...that totally s**ks! That kind of terrain (leafs) can get slippery for sure. Hope it goes well...and YES...those tires sure didn't help any. Pretty worn for that terrain...IMO.

OBTW: Thanks for providing the PICS!

Yea, that really sucks Darren. Hope things start turning around for you.

That looks like Potter or Tioga county where you are riding. Pretty rugged country... beautiful country... but rugged.

 

At least you were not injured. You must have knocked the hell out of that tree! You have gotton your money's worth out of those Rawhides! ITP is the way to go for replacement tires.

 

Gee, I know how you feel. Well I flipped mine and did alot of damage but
it always adds a little more salt to the wound when you just dump abit
of money into it to improve the performance and then have this sorta
thing happen. I really do FEEL! your pain. Its now been over 3 weeks since
I wrecked mine. Still in the service shop!

I hope you are okay and everything works out for repair. Do you have insurance?

That is now what I am dealing with!

You made it home uninjured and that makes it all good. You can fix your unit better than you can fix yourself. Best of luck with the repairs man.

 

Thats a bummer!! Did you break the A-arm? From the pic looks like the mounting bolt broke off. Hope thats the deal. Atleast ur ok.
