Thats a pos durabend. Look around and see if you can find a lonestar instead, the will hold up better. Im sure that the durablue would hold up for a 250ex but I have seen alot of em bend, even the one Rico had. :rolleyes:

not a real warrenty I say get lsr(lonestar) or rpm if they have one for a 250ex and if they don't and jumping is your thing get the durabend.

yeah i want a lonestar, or anything really, but i don't want plu 2 cause i don't think it would look good having the back really wide and the front narrow

I dont really think that the +2 would make a visual difference...youve already got 11" razrs so I wouldnt worry bout it and it will improve your handling and if Im right you could adjust it to stock width if you wanted.
I think, I may be wrong, that the durabends have lifetime warranties...maybe it was lonestar. But the duras should have some kinda warranty. I dont picture one bending on a 250 but it might. I wouldnt wanna find out though. :p

[kxrider]

if it has a lifetime warrenty,i am getting it, and if it will bend on a 250 just give me some time

[kxrider]

yeah, it is a lifetime warrenty, for as long as you own the quad

[Striker49]

Just be careful...they may revoke your warranty after you get the 4-5th axle replaced. :blah

[kxrider]

yeah, they said, if it is bent less than 1.85 cm they will bend it back but more they will replace it

Bend it back? WTF? :huh It would be really really hard to get it perfectly lined up again...maybe they can do it. Never heard of it being done and the axle actually straight again, plus it would weakin it. :rolleyes:

[kxrider]

all i know is what they told me, they will bend it back if it is less than 1.85 cm, and it will not result in weakening of the axle
