Went riding yesterday at a buddies house and we had just gotten on our bikes Me on my YFZ cuz on his raptor and TY on his KX250.. i take off in front blazing through this trail and whip the rear end right and then to compensate i go back left a little and just enough to catch a TREE!!! well after flying sidways through the air and landing half on quad half off i realize im ok... but i look down and the left rear tire is kocked sideways a pretty good amount... wow ive hit stuff alot harder than that before and never bent and axle before... but now i guess its time to put an extended axle on the YFZ..... Does anybody have any experience with Lonestar axles or can anybody recomend a good company to get it from.... i know the lonestar has a lifetime warrenty which would be helpful..... Thanks

why do you want an extended axle if you hit trees now?

 

better handling so he can avoid tree's. lol i hear dura-blue axles are weak but have never seen a bent one. its still prolly stonger than a stock axle.

 

yeah its also longer so its going to be harder to handle in the woodos

 

If you get an axle, try to get RPM or Lonestar, durablues suck period.

 

It was rider error..... And i understand that if its wider obviously i will have a better chance of hitting trees. But thats simply not the point if i rode in only woody conditions i would not buy an extended axle in the first place..... MX is a big factor also.... but thats for the advice Honda if i do end up purchacing a aftermarket i will problibly go with lonestar just because of the lifetime warrenty.. then i can bend them all i want and will be replaced.

 

Dont go with dura blue period last year I saw one banshee rider snap the axel into two. I was so shocked [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

So i take in Lonestar is the best??????

 

lonestar may not be best but durablue is definatly worst i saw a 250r at jack frost land a table pretty good and when he tried to turn i noticed half the axle with the tire were on top of the table[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

 

Ouch...... Thats what i dont need. It has to be able to take a good beating from At least of 60 Ft table top.
