An Unscientific Survey to Record Bent Sub-Frames

2008 covered under warranty
2010 Twisted up, bent back will try to warranty

Yamaha said to take it to the dealer and they "might" cover it since it is only a month or so out fo warranty

The dealer I took mine to said no but when I contacted yamaha they said yes.

68 documented sub frames and counting. unbelievable.

There are too kinds of subframes....ones that are bent and ones that are gonna bend. Not if it happens its when. 09 bent 10 only has 50 miles so we'll see.

When I goto the next sled show, I'm gonna look closely at the 2011 Nytro. I want to see if they strengthened it again for the fourth time in four years.

Maybe they did but at this rate sleds will be able to fly before they fix the problem!

Thank you!!! This is exactly my point.

So if Yammi told me to take it to a dealer, and the dealers are saying NO, why are they being inconsistant??

500 mi on mine, few light hits, one side not centered. strapped upper joint to pier and pulled ski leg with tractor. went back too easy, could have done it with the wheeler

 

[Nytrobull]

love my xtx annoyed as heck that bent 2 upper a a-arms this year at speeds below 20 km/hr and a bent sub-frame when front ski caught a rut and slightly twisted front rt ski at under 10 km/hr. It cost my additional mods for this year

Last saturday, 08 subframe:

Thought that with with proper shocks it could last longer.
Ok, we´ll see if I ever see sled again, insurance things going on.

 

[Yamadooed]

I need to vote twice???

Bent Subframe on 2009 XTX first real ride of the season Dealship is going to see what they can do.

 

[thefin]

yup me to 2009 rtx lower a-arm and sub frame tried to straighten but one ski tip is 1.25 inches shorter than the other

 

[Skifree]

thefin,
Same thing on mine, the ski is about an inch back.
Did you hit anything to bend it? Have you tried to go through your dealer for the warrantee?
