Default What have you broken/bent on your Z-400

Just curious as to what everyone out there has destroyed on their Z. Heres my list:

Axle(suprise,suprise)
Bearing carrier
Handlebars
Front wheel
Bent subframe
Airbox
Stud on carb for throttle cable

Now mind you,this was all due to my Z flip-flopping down a VERY large hill,so all the flamers keep away.

My warning signs on the fender is bent.... So far thats it and I have tumbled it several times. LOL!! I just dont know about them frames cracked cuz man if it were to crack it should have when I went flying around a corner and the bike ejected me and it rolled over two full turns before landing it square on its back. Just brushed my laughing a$$ off and got back and rode off.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

Nothing.

But, to get on a soapbox, what good does a thread like this do. If you roll a quad your gonna break something. what about normal use. Saying what's busted and not saying how it happened is, well...

Even those that did bend an axle or bust their shock mounts 99% of the time won't admit it's because they hit a tree or a rock so Suzuki replaces it under warrenty. Just gives those weak a-armed Yami guys more flamage... LOL!

I haven't broke anything stock and this frame thing must be a quality control issue. I way 300lbs and my frame looks good. On a side note I have Suzuki nerfs in which a weld broke.. Normal riding. Also today I broke a weld on a Suzuki peg plate. Normal riding. Looking at the quality of these welds I got ripped on the price of these parts. Like I said my frame has not cracked but the welds suck.

However this the first and only quad I have ever owned and I love it!!
