Raptor Bent Axle
#1
Ok guy's, I have posted a lot of good things about the Raptor but..the Axle and wheels suck. Saturday I was at the local MX track, very nice and groomed. I was jumping some pretty large table tops, doubles and steep up's and begin to notice a severe wobbling sensation. Guess what, bent axle and wheel. I did not case any jumps and have not hit anything. Of course this put's me in a big dilemma. What do I do. Of course I will check with the dealer, I also purchased the extended warranty on the advise of the dealer. He stated this being a first year bike it would be a good idea. Boy I can't wait to use that one on him. I guess Yamaha's test riders are either a bunch of wimps or Ethiopians. I'm sure Dura-blue does not have an axle for the Raptors yet. One other thing...now that I have had my Raptor 8 whole day's...what kind of tires and wheels should I put on this aluminum can?.

I picked up my Raptor Saturday, unloaded in the yard and 2 minutes later after a hump in the yard and about 4 feet of air, my left rear wheel and axle are bent. I t seems as though several riders have done this very easily and quickly, everyone please post their dealers responses to this problem.

Lonestar, RPM, etc... I haven't heard any negative feedback on them, but don't have any personal experience with them either.
I am fairly certain that their lifetime warranties are real lifetime warranties though...
I also haven't heard any feedback on the titanium axle either, although it is very cool looking....
Do some checking around.
