Had my first race on my 450r at a local track. Both motos went really well finishing second in both and second overall. The bike worked good and i am impressed the way the stock shocks handle the jumps. Also i decided i need an axle, was wanting to raise up in corners. What brand axle should i buy? Anyone no anything about the G-force?

G forces are weak, they wont hold up to mx abuse.

Are you running 18s, if not I would try them first and save up for the axle.

the Lone Star is probably best axle for money.......... I purchased one for my 450R and had no durabuilty problems......... one gripe those in the way/size they made the sprockt hub.... can't get anything on it over/below 38 without a hammer........

I bought my G-force in the winter i have 3 flat track and 3 mx races on it and i think it is as good as any LSR i have ever owned, i think its fine for mx the biggest jump ive hit is the 70ft double at rausch and it held up fine

I would get the LSR it is a way better axle.
That is why durablue has the new name of Durabreak lol. But the G-force has a lifetime warrentie aginst bends and breaks. So I think that is real good for the price.:confused:

Can you get a lsr that is +4 or +5?? Three just doesn't seem like quite enough.

i dont think you can but you can call and ask, if you are running the right front end, shock and tire setup +3 is perfect you will never be able to get it up on 2 wheels

that's what i thought, so spend a little more and get an axle you'll never have to replace.

LSR for the best bang for the buck.

I have Durablue (but I bought it way back in 99.), I'm supprised I hadn't snapped it yet.. I must have gotten a good batch.. lol.
