I was driving through some tight trails when I hit a large rock with the left front tire. I was going pretty slow but I guess I was going fast enough to bend my tie rod. My question is , how much will this cost me. Id there a good place to get parts like that.
I drove the bike home and it felt fine. I actually didnt even realize it was bent untill I was loading the quad in my truck. I did notice the handle bars and front tires where slightly off as well. Thank you very much for any input. I don't know enough to fix the quad myself so I am at the dealers mercy.

don't waste your money with the dealer if you need help we will tell you how you can either get the tirods froms yamaha or ebay if there are any on there...The tierods are easy to put back on all you have to do is pull the cotter pin out take a wrench and put it before the rubber boot on the tierod end there should be a slot for a wrench and use either an airgun or sockets to loosen the tierod on both ends...if you can loosen the nut before the tierod end once you get the tierods off (the nut is on the shaft part) and count how many turns it takes to turn the tierod end as tight as it will go so that when you get the new ones you will have the exact same setup as you did before just with new ends if there are any ?'s let me know...but don't waste your money with a dealer

Wow..so thats it huh? That does sound pretty easy. I called the dealer for the part and they said they had it for 8 dollars..I wonder why its so cheap. I think I may try and do it myself, but I really have NO knowlege about engines or suspension. Thanks alot pal.
