well went to the practice track yesterday where my friend made a new 60 foot triple..well me being the "quad" guy there i had to do it to keep a name for myself..well i do it arund the 3rd time around..and get over it clean, no bottoming out or rough landings..
i bring it back to the garage after to cheer about my accomplishments and check out my exhaust where ive gotten a ding or two before from the calipar..
this time its a lil more than a ding..anyone else have this problem?
it doenst sound any different and i dont think it'll be a problem but just making sure

Ya know... That worries me because I had the hardest landing of my life about two months ago. Just about broke my back. Was on heavy pain killers and anti-inflamitory steriods for weeks just to walk... and I did not do that.... So, why is your's hitting? I can't believe that you hit harder than I did...

Yeah, that's happened to others. It's not new or unique to your quad.
I know that 'dale is leaps and bounds better than the War-dog you came off of!! I had a Warrior previously, also.

Yep you clearanced it.Now it wont hit anymore.
Drbowtie I think what happened to you was you cased it.In other words it hit at bottom of frame or front of swing arm so your rear suspension didnt actually compress like yamas did.

ooh alright thanks guys..just making sure i dont have some defect or im kicking my quads a$$..because i wasnt.
drbowtie im sure you probably as dale27 said you cased it. where the swingarm of part of the frame slammed against the landing and your suspension doesnt actually bottom or somecases go in. resulting in a very harsh experince..but dont worry it happens to me all the time!, but im a 15 year old kid, once my dad did it on the warrior he was in pain for weeks:o

hmmmmmm,
Yep... That's what happened! I did it in March and I've got to tell you that I am still soar everyday... I can't get out of bed in the AM without pain and by the end of the day I can't sit or walk well without pain. It's getting old...
