I broke the top two bolts that hold the sub frame on at the mountainer GNCC. The only thing i can think of is one or both became loose and i didnt know it. It caused me a world of trouble when it happened. i was on a hill and was in about 5th in OPEN B. when it happened the exhaust came disconected at the mid section and the boot from the filter to the carb came off and i had no power to make it up the hill. not only that but now i have to take carb off and clean all the dirt in it out i had to sit there and wait to get towed in as i seen many racers in my class ride on by. me and ILGNCC400EX got them out and were going to put stainless ones back in just a hair longer then stock and a lock nut on the back side. so every one check them bolts cuz they must have worked loose.

Both of my quads and my buddies quad had the bolts come loose and/or break. We also never took them out for any reason.We've also cracked three subframes and two frames in 6 different places.
