Hey guys, I race my 700 raptor and yfz450 during the winter months for fun and money. I was at my fun race for charity this last Saturday and I rolled on a corner. I was on my raptor and was coming out of a corner at 35mph and lost a bunch of studs and it slid me broad sideways as I went sliding sideways down the straight away out of turn 3. Long story short, I bent my steering stem, bars and my rear axle. It really sucks as on February 27th my cash and prize money final is that day. I have to run my raptor as its the fastest around, and my yfz450 is almost all stock.

Ouch, sorry to see that.

I am sure this is in no way helpful but. . . . .

whoo you scared me there. I read the thread title and thought you wrecked your bonne. Sorry to hear about the damage to your ATV though.

That'll buff out....

Dude sorry to hear about the wreck but at least u looked cool goin down.LOL

x2 At least this move probably saved ya a broken leg, or worse.

Ouch man. Thus another reason I don't ride vehicles that don't have a roof over my head.

LOL Thanks for the slide shows guys lmao! Its all I could think of doing as counter steering away from it to bring it back didn't work. I'm just glad the TORS shut down the quad and the axle stopped and didn't keep running and tear me up. Those Kold Kutters are like a razor. They will shred anything in sight. Taking off from the start/finish line was either a wheelie or it spun and dug down 1" into the ice. Thanks for your comments, I think I might be able to get it up and rolling. I am going to make my own steering stem. Yea my buddy took those pics lol. He was like check this sweet ride out. Oh well, Since then I added graphics as the rear fender one actually instantly peeled off as it was over -15* out that day with a nice cold 5 to 10mph wind chill on top of it all.
Thanks for your support once again!

The slide show is cool now that I know you are OK.
