'01 400EX...
I had the quad up on a stand lubing the chain with the wheels moving and noticed the right tire wobbling. Looking closer it appears the axle is bent on this side, less than 1/8th movement from top to bottom.
An aftermarket ($300+) axle isn't in the budget right now. Even the $200 stock axle from Sevice Honda is more than I want/can spend at this time:(
What are the risks and possible further damage caused from riding with it bent? It may have been bent when I bought it used 1 1/2 years ago.
Are there any other options for repacement? Maybe a used one? what should I look for?
