Hummer84 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Picture of aftermath? Sounds like its time for a-arms and possibly a frame..... Must have been a good wreck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerules Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 oh it was damn twist throttle lol an noob rider had his bike sitting in only clear path at top of the hill reallly a frame??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hummer84 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Hard to say without you posting a picture. If you bent the stem I'd imagine that was a bad wreck. Hard to believe only the stem was bent and nothing else on the bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

possum Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Burke is right, but the question is why are they out? Tie rids bend easy. Check those and check whole front end for bends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gusto Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Its been my experience that when your trying to finess a bike through a tight trail, hill or if your bikes getting away from you the twist throttle is unforgiving. My quadzilla has one, it has quite a bit more tq than my 4 mil, and is a real bear to ride when in the tight stuff or technical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerules Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 i had it on a block an when i steered to the left the wheel went easily almost slapping a arm the steering is off to the left also must be the left tie rod? an when i steer to the right its much more tight the right wheel that iis it doesnt slap around an almost hit a arm like left side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheerules Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 is the steering hoop the goldish thing that bolts on to steering stem stabilizer?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerules Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 would that trash the frame? whats the bar stop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennett131 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 At the bottom of the stem where it mounts into the bearing, its what stops you from turning too far left or right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
