Picture gone

Damn, did the guy hit a truck :shock:

Actually, being a yamaha he probably just put the front end down after a wheelie and this is what happened

oops, maybe shoulda made it outa thicker tubing

The pic is listed as a YFZ400 I assume they meant YFZ450 no?

Damn!!! ALREADY??? Wonder what the story is on this??

Oh yeah this pix really makes me want to buy a Yami...

9 out of 10 engineers pick Honda the 10th one works for Yamaha and gets free parts.

The guy should of saved his money and fixed his flooring

I was riding my Honda 450 powered sport quad when I bent an A-Arm, oh wait, never mind.

Details please?

I saw this pic on another board somewhere. Wasnt that a pic of the quad that one of the Mags were testing or something? I think it said it was Dirtwheels or some crap.

Where did you find this AFTERMARKET?

Gosh the structural integrity seems real...wait no, what structural integrity!

How about a bent A-arm on a Limited Edition Raptor :roll2:

Don't you mean 9 out of 10 riders ride yamaha. the 10th one won the bet and ride's the only Honda they had. LOL :burn:

im just curious but does anyone know the real full story about this a arm? was it on a test bike or what. cuz this goes to show why sometimes you dont go out and buy the first year they make it... means usually they are still tryin to work out the kinks. im just curious of the story behind this cuz my friend is thinking of gettin one but if it is gonna be like this then nope he is gonna hold off....

I read it was from hitting the mother of all ruts where the rider got pitched. Being that is the case, I think the damage is minor. I have friends launching doubles and a few of them doing triples with no A-arm failures. One friend did lose control and hit a cement with a serious head of steam and did some damage but nothing liek the pic.

He said work out the KINKS.

Aint that the truth!!! :roll2: :X: :dis:

Who cares about stock A-arms. Just get some of these www.tbrproducts.com

Damn you guys f'n crack me up with this hon vs yami bull$h!t. That new yami may have some issues, but what doesn't have something in the 1st couple months of release....Maybe that's why honda hasn't released a new quad in forever!!!!! >:< Time to step it up, that 400ex and keepin with shiat anymore. :.(. :.(. Gotta hand it to yamaha for makin somethin that puts down 40hp at 350lbs and isn't made of aluminum. :shock: Honda really needs to make a production bike that will keep up with everything else. Damn, they already have everything, stuff the crf450 motor in the 400ex frame.....done, they would sell the shiat out of them right away, c'mon guys step up to the plate.
