hmm well today wasn't a very good day lol i reck on a 150 ft hill i was about 2 ft from the top bike stalled in 3rd gear which was a bad gear to run it in and umm we went tumbling down the hill it hit me in the head and ribbs lucky i had a helmet on i have brused ribbs


but my question was is it possible to bend my axle back in place its bent real bad its rubbing on my fenders lol and my stock handle bars are bent in half but i will jus buy some new ones

I would just get rid of the aftermarket axle and buy a new aftermarket one, I don't think you will be able to bend your stock axle back in the garage.

Sometimes you can get them close by using a press. If it is real bad or the bend is in the bearing area it can't be done. I do have a used 400ex one in my garage. Make me an offer.

no theres pretty much no way to bend an axle back b/c that spot is still gonna be weak so the minute u hit a jump it would just bend back
ya id def. start climbin those hills in second
third is way to high for hills
def. get a new axle
