Last race of the year, last lap, last time through the scoring tent 2nd place, and then this...

Actually, I don't know. I think it was bending during the race and then it finally let go after I put the chain back on.

That's a Lonestar, isn't it? That is a weak spot on all Lonestar swingarms. I've had two different Lonestar 250R swingarms crack in that same spot. They normally don't just break in half like that, it starts with small cracks across the top of the tubes. You probably didn't look it over very well after riding, but that's understandable because the cracks are really hard to see.

I'd definitely be calling Lonestar and giving them a piece of my mind:mad:

Yeah, it's a Lonestar. Earlier in the season the linkage mount broke and Lonestar said that it would probably keep cracking, but I wasn't expecting this.

Nothing duck tape can't fix.
