Has Anyone Ran A G Force Axle??

[stallionrr]

i was lookin at the G FORCE extended axle for my 450r because the price is right and it comes with an anti fade lock nut... are they any good? thanks a lot

[cals400ex]

the g-force axles do not come with an antifade, unless you are buying it used.....

i had one and it worked well. i never had any problems with mine but then again, i am easy on my stuff.

I dont always land the best. I have bounced off a few trees is some tight trails before still yet to bend mine.

DO NOT BUY!!! i personally watched a fellow A class rider snap his axle on the TAKEOFF of a jump, the axle snapped competly through going off the taking off, forcing him to bail mid air, i would stay away from then, there is a reason that they are so cheap, the i know on the yfz ones the locknuts are total junk and strip out. The guy who snapped it on the takeoff only had the axle one or 2 races also....

[LumpyCamTRX]

they come with a lifetime warrenty

[eastside 400]

almost every axle comes with a lifetime warrenty, just spend the extra money and atleast get a LSR, if u can spend more get a Team

[MAD450r]

Bet his shock was in need of service. The only one I seen break the guy bought an rpm to replace his g-force and in the very next lap on the very same track he broke the g-force on he snapped the rpm.

Any and all will break dont be fooled. I have a lonestar on my ex and I do see a quality difference but the g-force has held up fine.

[stallionrr]

well i ordered it today cuz im broke and its all i can afford but damn!!!! You guys are makin me nervous.. I have a +3 long travel front end and the rear is still stock so it handles like crapola. so i need an extended axle asap..... i guess ill try my luck.....

[stallionrr]

+3 front w/ stock rear handles like poop

[MAD450r]

and yes widening helps but suspension helped more.

I see your front is done did you do your rear, if so I had to slow my return a bit more to make ti track in a strait line.

[bkp]

I have one on my YFZ and it is the sorriest axle I have owned. You get what you pay for.

[stallionrr]

i didnt do anything at all to the rear. i have the rear shock adjusted all the way soft on all three adjustments and its still like a damn catapult. I was told to just get a dual rate kit from elka or axis or pep or something and just have it revalved and that will make my stock shock sweet... what do ya think?????

[stallionrr]

BKP..... why so bad???

[bkp]

Chromes chipping the axle nut is starting to strip from tightening it on every ride the wheel hubs stay loose its a turd.....

[stallionrr]

my stock lock nut used to break loose every ride but after i put like half a tube of lock tight on the threads... it never gave me a problem again... whats the problem with the sprocket hub now...????????

[MAD450r]

You wont regret it after with new rear link the machine will let you use your power now, not wheelie or buck like it did with the stock link and stock valving :(

I have derisi's mx setup all around and its just as good as my standard travel elkas on my 416ex. They were much cheaper too.

[eastside 400]

the Gforce axles are made poorly, after the guys broke we looked at it and almost 3/4 of the axle diameter actually looked like it was cast which is very bad for an axle, it looks like they took a cast piece and turned the outside on a cnc lathe and thats it, i know on his YFZ that the locknut was comming loose everytime he had it out for practice or anything, no matter what we did it kept getting worse, threads were falling off and everything... i wish u luck but they arent good

[stallionrr]

as long as it doesn't snap and cause me to get hurt.. i guess what do ya want for $200. i hope i dont regret it

[stallionrr]

MAD450R........ that denrisi setup you have is an upgrade kit for your stock shock?????

[MAD450r]

heres the linkhttp://www.derisiracing.com/ (http://)

you may want to check out gt thunder as well they do great work as well and also use the new rear link.

says 350$ for the new rear link dual rate zps and revalve for the rear shock. [ you have to send him yours or buy another used one off ebay so not to have down time]

[JJs450r]

an a class rider that races with us has went through 3 in a 12 race series if that helps any id go lonestar

[400exrider707]

Why would an A class rider even bother putting another one on if it snapped in the first place. I think once youve made it that far your going to be putting the best of the best on ..... now for most people who are just recreational riders and do the occasional race the g-force should hold up fine.


Also the only axle I've ever seen that has had problems with the chrome chipping off is actually the Lonestar axles.

[250RXCrider]

If you are looking at the more expensive axles I have had experience with RPM and Lonestar. The strengh of the lonestar has been great as I have tagged a few trees, but the chrome started flaking off after a couple of rides. I never had a problem with the chrome on a RPM.:)

[Over-land 450r]

yo man dont worry about it. I race with the G force. i plan on racing B and i have no fears. I have cartwheeled my quad about 7 times for the 06 season with the same axle and it as fine. as for it breaing up a take off. ARE you ****in kidding me. Watever.
I find that hard to beleive.

[shiftyfofiddy]

i have a g-force on my trx 450 and its not poorly made. you can talk all you want its not about a crappy axle its about a crappy rider. its all about ridin smooth. if your smooth rider then dont worry about it. i mean i guess if you beat the hell out of your stuff then nothing is going to last. thats my oppion

[eastside 400]

over-land this is chris mccauley #58, d6, tom fink broke his G-force at dutchmen this year, thats the guy i was talking about and it was on the take-off of the third table in the middle. no lie

I would guess that it was cracked before he got to the take-off.

[dobo450r]

I have had my G-force for 2 year, wrecked many time still holding up just fine, as for the breaking on a take off hard to believe. My brother had dure blue and that got tweaked and he never wrecks.

Definitely

[MAD450r]

Mine has held up awesome. As for one breaking on a takeoff for a jump it had to be a steep face to the jump and his rear shock let ti bottom out too much or there is no way any axle should break on a take off. Only other way that could happen is if his axle was over heat treated [I seen that on so many durabreak axles] You can see the color difference when that is the case.

Again that is just my opinion.

[eastside 400]

nah, it def. happened i dont know why no one believes me, tons of D6 races saw it so idk, it was def cracked before he hit the jump and the lip wasnt steep either...

[Over-land 450r]

oh yeahh you are right sorry bout that man. But still he couldnt have broke it goin up the lip. dont you see how hard i beat on mine. i come up like 3 ft short more time then i wouild like to but i do on the dags at atco. never bent it racing. or this year. and i was always cartwheelin my quad. i thought he had a Lsr. sorry it did happen you guys. And he is a Pro-am rider
