i did this from jumping

Judging by the homemade extended swingarm job that looks to be flux core welded I don't think it would have taken much to break that.

 

[coreyownz]

i dont think it was a custom swinger..

 

[specialized7]

yea i think that was a swingarm shop one that broke a few times ?
correct me if im wrong haha

 

[blasterfreek30]

i bought it from the swingarm shop on ebay, its now reinforced good and no problems so far

 

[coreyownz]

wish i could reinforce my frame lmao

 

[RobJ]

It doesn't take much to break that. The tubing needs to be bigger.

 

[blasterfreek30]

have u broke one before?

 

[REEDracing94]

hope that never happens to me lol

 

[Braapbraap95]

yeah haha a stock blaster frame is only like 500 ish bucks though, from legit yamaha parts.

 

[blasterfan84]

i put a 1 and a half inch crack in the middle of my swingarm and twised my frame and axle and a-arms without even crashing, think you ride hard, try a 70ft stepdown triple with spacers on instead of +2s

PICS OF THE DESTRUCTION. you dont like to post alot of pics do ya?

 

[RobJ]

have u broke one before?

Nope. Just got a blaster so haven't even rode much. Where the hole is for the shock mount, it looks like they cut the inside of the rectangular tubing to insert the round pipe for the shock mount. Right where the mount is, that is where the highest stresses occur, on the bottom and top of the rectangular tube. Having cut the tube where the hole is so close to the bottom and top edges, weakens it significantly. I would use a taller tube, that way the hole is not as close to the outermost surface where the peak stresses occur.

Have a great day.
