Default Steering knuckle question?
I was at Firebird MX park and crashed[B)][B)]Not a huge crash but somehow enough to break the steering knuckle in half.I crashed in the whoop section on my 07' ltr 450. Anyone heard of a steering knuckle breaking this way?

Ashley... Did it happen to your 400EX or 450R?

To date Eric... I have not heard of this "ever" happening![:0][V]

Sorry bud!

Be sure to check with the Suzuki dealership to see if there was a flaw in your knuckle. If so, I would think that they would take care of you...

Wow... I would think something else would bend/break well "before" the knuckle would break![xx(]
