Tie rods shouldnt be bending like that, even stockers. Your alignment, a rim, pittman arm, or something else is messed up if you arent hitting something. If you are running offset or flipped rims then the tie rods will bend much easier due the the increased leverage on them. Check your other components and if nothing seems wrong, then upgrade the rods and see what happens.

05 had the same with a gunmetal grey LE w/ grey camo grill and graphics
02-04 LE models have black frames, wheels, and hubs, everything other model has a silver color frame with grey hubs and wheels.

There have never been flames on any non le raptor, at least not from the factory. The 03 black and red did not have flames.
No raptor comes with chrome rims. Either they are the stock aluminum or they are aftermarket.

LE Lineup
02 black w/ blue flames, silver rims, black hubs, frame and hood
03 black w/ red flames, silver rims, black hubs, frame and hood
04 black w/ yellow graphics, black rims, frame, hubs and grey hood
05 gunmetal w/ camo hood and graphics, silver frame, hubs, and wheels
To the best of my knowledge, that is the complete lineup.
I find it odd that yamaha would have released a new LE graphics color partway through the production run, but its possible.
