suzuki0702 Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 well i just got back from alleghany national forest. went out there to spend time with my g/f and to get some good riding time in. well all morning it wasn't running right ..the rear tires felt like they werent biting right.. well finally after a while luckily when i was by myself, the damne3 thing stopped moving ..at first i thought it was the clutch but the bike is only 8 months old ...so i looked down at the axle and it wasnt moving just the hubs and tires... i will never buy another lonestar product in my life.. if i could show u guys the hubs.. they didnt last but 4-5 months...not hard riding neither..i couldnt believe it.. i thought that lonestar was the shizzle..but anyways ...does anyone have other experiences like this.. it ruined my whole day! i drove 2 1/2 hours and spent 60 some dollars to ride for 10 minutes.had to drive all the way home for the stockers...lucky the axle splines didnt get ruined.. to make a long story short... DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON LONESTAR HUBS.. NO WARRANTY! later -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05bansh Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 Got any pics? Something had to have caused the problem? From my experience Lonestar makes some quality products, this is the first I have ever heard any complaint of them either than thier prices...

Donoyfz450 Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 (edited) You do know that after you install an aftermarket axle/hubs you have to check it every so often to make sure that its tight. More than likely it had loosened up while ridiing then with the constant hammering you stripped the splines.

suzuki0702 Posted May 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 yeah thats what happened but the thing is i tightened them up every 2 weeks..because i noticed that there was a black residue constantly coming from them. to make a long story short..steel on aluminum hasnt worked well in my experience ever.. so off to the warranty claims department i go.. later guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
. Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 I've also known of 2 people that had lonestar "lock on" hubs. They had nothing but complaints about them. They were constantly coming loose, even breaking through red loctite. My one good buddy sent them back and got a refund for them (dont know how, thats like pulling teeth) And my other buddy sold them on ebay. I'll never get those hubs.....sounds like to much trouble to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
