So I snapped the lower drive side tube on my Yukuza and I was wondering if I would be able to Buy/replace/reweld the swing arm?

Any Info would be much appreciated Cheers

I would contact your local Iron Horse distributor; they should warranty your frame.

I think you missed the part where u did an 18ft drop to an incline or something. Haha, thats crazy dude, but i agree that you should go back to Ironhorse. A new frame for your troubles

I haven’t done anything about it yet... kind of because I bought it second hand so i can't get warranty, so I am planning on just emailing the Aus Distributor and order a brand new swing arm. Have a search about the lose pivot i'm 100% sure there is one somewhere.

for all of you out there it was not the gaffa tape's fault. When we took the gaffa tape off the frame snapped it just snapped infront of us. The gaffa tape was holding it together:D

he really just landed sideways (hipped landing so he had to whip it) at the bottom of the landing

shock has top out problems and fix the pivot with some locktite or in the case of this guys swing arm gaffa tape holds things together fare well
