Frame and shock problems!?!?

[eastside 400]

so how many people have cracked there frames so far and where have you done it?? also how soft are the stock shocks, ill probably be keeping the stock shocks and jumping pretty big with it like 50-75 footers on mx race. have any people not liked their stock shocks cuz they were too soft, those are the only 2 things keeping me away from the 450r and into the yfz

Mine broke on the right side behind the upper motor mount,and both sides of the crossmember between the foot peg mounts. My buddies broke on the right side both behind and right above the right side motor mount and on both steering stem mount supports. Don't know about the shocks,we switched to Elka's from the start.Both quads are raced XC. Hope my new '05 holds up a little better.

I know of a few mx racers that have wasted the yfz frame and swing arm both.
