Bent My Subframe!!!!!

[YFZ450Ridr]

well tonight me and my friend (punk'd) went out to put my thumb throtle back on and im currently in the process of replacing my swing arm bushings so its jacked up in the air, back wheels about 3 feet in the air maby 4. any way all the sudden my friend says holy crap come here!! i look at my subframe and its bent. i dont really know how it bent, i have rolled it over a few times and fliped it back wards a bit, but ive never wrecked it really bad,it was something that could be fixed in about 10 minutes you know. but how ever the last time i went riding i did jump alot. probablly about 4 feet give or take some. i weigh 175, i bottom out every time i jump almost. could bottoming out really hard alot have bent my subframe? what do u guys think could have caused this. thanks.

If your bottoming out you might try turning up your compression on the rear shock and ajusting the fronts:D just a thought!:p

why'd you take your twist off?

Dont worry i snapped my subrame off and bent my frame on my old 250ex. I rode it like a 450r httin stuff guys on 450s were scarred and i guess just after all the abuse the subframe snapped off right were it connects to the frame by the airbox and bent my frame. So thats when i decided to sell it and get a bigger bike. lol

heta it up and bend it back. thats what we had to do to all of our stuff when we took it all apart. my stem looked like a twizler.

6'4" on a 250? you are alot tougher than me. How do you do it? Did you get alot of seat foam and chop the fenders off of it?
