Extremely common obviously. :mad: I have been through two on my 2008 Nytro MTX. There are some stiffeners you can add to the OEM which is what I did. They were offering a new upgraded one from Yamaha but it was still a little weak. I believe that (T-Nytro) on here has some made up already. After I did a little modifying it has stood up well. I hit a tree late in the season and sheared the ski right off bent the A-arms and no sub frame damage. Good Luck.

Cheers,:beer:

hitting a tree will probably bend an 09 too. Something has to give ;) Could have been worse I guess. You know we'll help you Sledslut :rolleyes: but you have to look where you're going:d

We're all a little twisted somewhere!!!:d
It's just the same as the early rev's.......flying nuns took the damaged instead of bending A arms. Wish it wasn't such a big job to fix it though,. Maybe get mine repaired this year too
