Yup....I had a friend take mine out saturday night (with out asking), and he wrecked it. I looked over to see it do some kart-wheels, and watch him get a concussion. He was alright a couple minutes later, and he's paying for the 3,000 $'s in damage. It twisted the front of the frame and broke one side where the sub-frame connects, and the sub-frame bent, the plastic bent (both front and back), and bent the a-arms, and broke the tierods, and the sterring stem. I'll have all the new parts next week.

That sux guys, but remember any atv will only take so much.....cartwheeling numerous times especially will damage any atv.

I am not bashing the quad at all. I think everybody should buy one. I flipped a yfz 450 last year right after getting my first holeshot in the WORCS, and it cart-wheeled and bent and broke the same way.
