Broke my sway bar

[stevewithOCD]

Snapped it in two!
Pulled over to take a pic of me in Canada & bud in US while standing on my head. Noticed my sway bar broke.
Had a new to me rider with us today. I was most likely showing off my cornering prowess even with bumps in them. I think it broke in a high speed bumpy corner but who knows. Makes a better story this way.
Anyways it's broke. The Yamaha dealers up here don't & won't have any soon so i just need to lean some MORE!
I lean a lot now!
I may have to sew a hockey puck on my knee like a GT bike racer.

OH well, it is what it is.........

Your belly panel protector didn't save your sway bar?

Did you get the temp of the bar???

6 inches away, for consistency, not 5 3/4

lol

I actually don't have a belly pan protector & some have scolded me as such.
I think you are eluding to blowing a belt soooo bad that it hit my sway bar. That's actually quite humorous if that was your intent.
To be honest, if i am going to break anything, i guess that would be the thing. If it was a shock mount or A-arm, i'd have to go back to base 3 plus hours & grab the Apex.

I blew a belt so hard the other day the belt come up and blew my side panel clean off my sled. No belly panel protector would have helped that. It was a site to see when the side panel goes flying thru the air at 100 mph.

It is hard to believe that the SOUPMAN still has a sense of humor after personally keeping Thailand out of the RED financially.....

All 4 of the belts i blew did no damage to my sled except the foam lining which i usually rip out anyways.
I will install guard soon 'cuz i'm living on borrowed time...

Now that you mention it, i've always been curious how "hot" a shock gets when being put through the paces....i will let you know my findings tomorrow

Right on Steve! You ARE a hard rider. These swaybars break. Known issue. Mine was replaced under warranty. Its actually great ride and no issue without it till you hit about 50mph. Then things get real hairy unless you crank the shocks up!

Madawaska area with it’s 100 mile per hour trails, “and you found a bump”, or was it more of a jump.

You must be speaking of the border trail when you say 1 person in
Canada and other in USA?

Dam that sucks. You need that machine at 100% in that part of the world. Could it be taken apart and welded for now?

Oh well good luck with the rest of your racing week. Wish I were there helping you keep pace.

With the snow coming tonight and tomorrow, you won’t be able to see your front end for a couple of days anyways!
