i just got this thing a few months ago. I bent 2 tie rods and 2 tie rod ends. I bent the axle and had the shop bend it back and now I think that my hubs are bent. I know why the axle bent but the tie rods I have no idea. I was racing and some guy on a 250R hit my back end and slamed the back rim into the ground. I think that the tie rods are breaking from the spacer any help will be great thanks Tony

 

Unless Yamaha changed parts between '92 and '03, I would attribute your tierod problems to the wheel spacers you mentioned.

I owned my '92 for 3 years, rode it hard, and never bent or broke anything in the front end.

Ride on.

 

well.. my 03 hasn't had this prob yet.... do u race????? don't use spacers... there evil

 

ya I race it and I do have spacer's. I think that is why they are bending. do you have a dura blue axle and ex a-arms.
