Last weekend Ocotillo wells on the way to blowsand
My buddy Dan loops his yzf

He rides really well?
But it got out of hand this time

Notice the toe

well let's see some pics then.....


you had to post right before i said that.....

Last one..

All we saw that night was headlight, taillight,headlight, taillight and a cloud of dust.




Remember .
Dirt hurts! Stay in the sand!

that's why I don't ride on hard pack.

damn that sucks

those a-arms just collapsed

Good excuse to upgrade.

He is aready in the process of getting new shocks and arms

is he ok?

damn thats gotta suck. at least it was on stock suspension and not a new aftermarket setup.

How did he mess up his toe? He wasn't wearing boots?

Damn, glad he's okay.

I can't believe those a-arms got so wadded up.

Im not sure if he was wearing his 8,s or not?
He rode the next day though.

DAMN!

Thats the third yfz that i've seen with the a-arms clolapeds or broken off,when they wreck.

That would suck

Bummer. Those arms look like cardboard.

they are way thin

boy glad he's ok, but yamahaha makes some quality parts huh? lol

get some nice aftermarklet arms and shocks. you know he did it on purpose so he had an excuse to upgrade

wow. that's all i can say. wow. I've rolled, endo-ed, and flipped my quad a number of times (ncluding two days ago) and i've NEVER had any front-end damage.

yeah the YFZ is a light bike, but those pics make me think there's no "there" in there.

if that makes sense....

Have to say I'd rather buy new a-arms than a new frame.

Glad the guy is OK.. As for the bike.. ouch..

o man...that sucks big time!!!

did you say you needed shocks and arms???

NICE....

Good to know yamaha is still making a quality product...lol

Glad he is okay, but I see that the Yam-crap tradition lives on.

Had a Raptor, same thing happened to me (except for the toe) that thing couldn't handle being ridden hard at all.

Now for my TRX250R....that thing just keeps taking it and dishing it out. Can't wait for the next TRX!@!

Flipped my YFZ last fall like that at the track. Bent tye rod end, handle bars and bent rear sub-frame.
Went for a rip the other day and the darn Decompression plug blew out....limped the machine back into my shop, stocked the stove (was -25 below outside) then went to go move the quad into her spot in the shop grabbing the rear grab bar and BANG, the effing thing broke right off. 350lbs and now I know why.
STILL the baddest effin machine out there though!!!

Glad you buds OK!!
