Why did you bend it already?! Call RPM, Lonestar, and Durablue and ask directly. They would know if anyone. Let us know what you find out.

I was jumping an uphill jump not that big, I would jump my 400ex twice as hard off of it but this was new so I was taking it easy. I hit in 3rd gear and the axle bent up on both sides. I just had knee surgery in feb. and I ruptured my disc and cracked my lower spine two times all around Janurary so I not launching too large!!! I am very surprised it bent, the banshee and 400ex hit it a couple times too. It was a very smooth landing so I am shocked!! I hope it was just a bad axle. I plan on jumping it much larger and a whole lot more so I hope the next axle is alittle stronger!! The dealership is still looking for an axle, they might just staighten this one so I can ride this weekend and when the new one comes in then I will take it back in.

That's not a good sign for the 400...

Think I'd pay a visit to the dealer and at least bend his ear.

Uh, yeah, that don't sound good. I really hope that it was just a bad apple, for all of our sakes. I'd rather spend a little cash on the shocks than to get another axle.
peace
