I know there axles do but not sure about steering stems.

Not to be the bearer of bad news but I'd have to say your SOL dude...:(

[Str8Wicked]

Call them up I think all there products are warrenteed.....

Damn that sucks if theres no warranty. How come theres been a lot of bad things circulating about LSR these days ?

[400MXer]

It's not really "these days", lonestar had kind of always been nutorious for cracking. My friend broke his lonestar swingarm, and a guy i race with did too along with the a arms, his shock mount snapped right off.( He thinks it started to crack and just didn't catch it in time.) Also, i remember the article in dirtwheels about the lonestar frame cracking at the footpeg area after only a few races, and the arens went a bagazillion miles and still no problem>

The stem is another story though. Any stem will bend in a hard enough crash.

hmm, I dont think I will be purchasing any of their products. ARENS seems to be one of the best, just from the way people are talking. I have never riden one, so I cant say from personal experience.

[400MXer]

Yeah i hear ya....ever since i've witnessed those lonestar products break and heard about a billion more, i haven't gotten anything from them.

Yeah, i've heard that arens stems were good. I think i'll be getting a RPM stem when i'm ready.

Let me know when you find someone who guarntees any of their chasiss components against bending and or breaking :confused:

[nacs400ex]

When its time for an axle, I am going to get a RPM, because I have heard nothing but good about them. So if their stems are just as good, I would go for it too.

Hmm... I bent my Arens steering stem on my C-Dale so they must be crap. :confused: All kidding aside - Arens makes great stuff and I know it was MY fault that it bent during a crash and I owned up to it by buying a replacement at MY cost.

Always remember - something has to take the hit. I would rather it be the stem than the frame! LSR knows that you cannot just bend your steering stem from riding / racing without crashing.

On the other hand they do warranty axles with no indication of knowing if you bent it from jumping or wrecking - which is probably 50/50 on all of claims that come in and they still fix the axle for you for free as long as you are the original owner.
