I'm begining to wonder if there is an issue with the clips from the factory. Meaning the welding fixture is screwed up or the hole locations in the A-arm mount tabs are off location from the get go??? Just went out to look at mine and both are 4". My MTX has 16KM on it.

I was wondering the same thing myself.

Well lets get it out there: any one check it at dealership, having heard these stories, and then had it bad later, ie 'was right before but not now' type of thing? Just to confirm?

Can any of you guys who have bent front ends, roll the sled on it's side, and take a picture of the bottom of the sled, without the plastic panels on it? If there is a bending issue with the subframe, and an aftermarket fixture is necessary, I think I have a solution!!
I'll be measuring mine (which is still straight...) and will be asking for measurements of the subframe from some of you guys who are bent.

FYI, just remember these sleds are not recommended to be tipped on their sides for very long--something about oil draining back into the air box, etc?nate007 said:Can any of you guys who have bent front ends, roll the sled on it's side, and take a picture of the bottom of the sled, without the plastic panels on it?

It takes a large tip over, probably close to 90 degrees or more. I had mine tipped over for over an hour at probably 60 degrees and had no issues.
This was when I was installing my skid plate.

Can you guys with tweaked front ends confirm if you have pulled up your front limiter strap ?

Stock limiter in my case.

hope you are asking your dealers to lodge the complaint with Yamaha. I think its time for me to call and get full insurance on my sled.

I had mine on its left side for around an hour when I installed the skid plate with no issues. Had a box under the end of the bars.

Hope you don't have to dig it out of the snow for an hour or so upside down then, and try to ride it home!
