We gotta be honest, he hit something. Every one of those that pull out of the tunnel, by the time the full story is out, hit something solid. I’ve bent them on every ifp center shock sled I’ve ever had and never broke one, while bottoming out the front arm literally every single ride. In 850 miles piss pounding my RXC it’s laser straight. It doesn’t help that whatever he hit was 5 rides ago and it’s been hanging on by a thread since then, so he thinks it’s randomly just bent, broke and pulled through riding down a seasonal road.

But "it's a race sled" 🤣

It's got to be the 4th or 5 one of those he's broken over the years. 

I've seen/sold parts to repair a ton of them in procross sleds

I've never bent that one but I have bent the lower shock mount pretty regularly. I order the snocross sled lower mount and it fixes the problem.

 

If memory serves me correctly the race dept for the I500 (not the gd soo) had suggested replacing that rod years back with a steel alternative, along with replacing the upper steering mount/frame spar junction that is plastic with the SX one.

People saw the snocross sponsorship and are still hanging their hat on CFMoto like morons

those things are absolute junk. Seen so many with the weld seam on the inside of the bar so the aluminum bar won’t go into it.

Have 2 of them no problem. But I had one that was a little work to install

so they dont do a DOM tube for the crass shaft saver? must be farm store black pipe...

These rivets are a big pain in the butt to remove 

 

Knock the center out with a punch, before trying to drill. 

I use an air hammer with a special ground tip. 

Or you can grind off the back side and knock them out.

I tried knocking out the center.  Regular hammer didn't do. Nothing.  Using a big maul wasn't doing nothing and just broke the punch.  I think I'm going to grind them off before I dent in my tunnel 

I think I set a new record. Fixed the last problem and broke the sled in 3 hours.

That part is totally optional, just pretend you didn't see it and keep riding

That’s what is going to happen lol. I have jt wheels on order but they haven’t arrived yet. Should have ordered enough to do the whole sled

The rears are actually pretty good, they turn into octagons, but I haven't seen one break.  the small ones not so much, but they used to be cheap.

The rears are started to turn into octagons just after Christmas. The small ones I had to buy from the local Yamaha dealer as cat’s dealer network is fantastic and they were 50 each. I have a set of Jt wheels coming.
