steering stem problems

[exkicksazz]

I flipped my 400ex today and bent the steering stem(I think thats what it's called)near the top, I was wondering if it can be fixed or will I have to get a new one, what will it cost.

you could try to bend it back ... but I wouldn't ...

I'd just get a new one ...

Price depends on if your looking for stock ... or aftermarket

If you want stock ... go to planet honda ... they have the best prices ... if you want aftermarket ... go with Burgard

ya i would just buy a new one. ive heard of people heating them up and bending them back but it weakens it a lot ive also heard that people that have done that have had their steering stem snap when landing a jump

I heated mine up and bent it back twice before my new one arrived.....I took it easy though. I have read about them snapping and not being able to get the quad home and stuff like that. Just order a new stocker, and if money is not an issue, look into an Aftermarket one:)
