I just bought a 2001 400ex and found out later when I was messing with it that the rear left hub and axle splines are stripped on both of them. Im suppose to go riding next weekend and need a quick fix till I can find another axle. Any suggestions? Theres a few machine shops around. Is there anything they can do besides weld it together? Maybe key it or something like that

You could key it. Any manchine shop could do this, but it will set you back about 50 or so. I would just weld it, and cut it once you get a new axle. I think a used axle and hubs are around 130. Make sure to grease the splines, and get the nut tight, and use the cotter pin when you get a new axle and hubs.

welding it would prolly work alright. then search ebay for some replacement stuff

but give the machine shop a try, they may find an easy fix
