awesomeame Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 ??? this was the culprit, a broken tie rod oh yeh, and i clipped a tree like i barely touched it i thought ! :-D my leg is a bit bruised up and hurting, but other then that it's all good. bike needs a new tie rod, a-arms, & spindle though. rim is a bit banged up as well but appears to be holding air. --matt Quote
dogboystoy Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 Been there done that. Piece of cake to repair. Quote
Soupbox660 Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 That looks familiar Woo hoo! If you aren't breakin stuff, you aren't riding hard enough....... Well to a point. LOL Quote
BenBB Posted July 24, 2006 Report Posted July 24, 2006 ??? Juuuuuuuust a little too much toe-in heh :wink: I snapped one of 'em myself at the last race, thankfully didn't hit a tree heh. Anyway after having it happen several times I'm finally upgrading to Honda style tie rods & ends (female threaded ends and a solid rod), RMA carries Tusk for about $105 (free freight over $100), I found some at www.trailtracksand.com for $90 ($102 with freight) and will see how well they hold up...
