My buddies swing arm did the same exact thing cause he MX. Yamaha would only warranty it if they took it off and installed it. He said the hell with it and bought a Houser swingarm.

I cracked my swing arm back in september, yamaha covered it with no problems (remains to be seen what they will do, if anything, now that my warranty is up/ if it happens again). I have also seen pictures of the swing-arms twisting/warping as well. The front shock mounts on my quad also cracked, but unfortunately yamaha didn't cover that under warranty.

On the cracks to the front shock mounts . I was told by Yamaha that it was caused by the +2 or +3 aarms, the quad is set with +3 arms for MX , don't you think that Yamaha , producing a race quad would know that MX racers would go with the extended arms ... ok I'll get off the soap box .... anyways , I'm on a second swinger and second set of a-arms . now we are waiting to see if the weld on the shock mount is going to give away ... I guess its time to call Izzy Burgard and get the gusset kit .. and a good swingarm ....

Take care guys , be safe ....
