Not yet, it just happened today. I'm upset at my dealer because I had them look at them when I took my quad in last month for recall work. I noticed some play in the joint but they said it was ok. I'm taking it to my dealer again and telling them to fix it. Lucky for me I was going around a bush when I heard a scratching noise from the front wheel and 5ft later it pop out. Hey crixal I think you convinced me to get the Rossier exhaust from ur posts and video clips.

The handle bars are from my old predator 500 I used to have. I'm 5'10'' and the stock ones were too short for me, they'll do until I can get a new +2 steering stem. When I first bought my quad I ran out of fuel and had to tow it back to the truck, and i guess the top loop is not strong enough to tow from.
