thats strange.. i've seen them jump really big jumps like around 80ft and 20ft high in the air and no issues.. (rider is mike reefman..)

sounds like a pain in the ass. how long u had it? surely psto have warranty for a few months at least. new swingarm shouldnt set u back too much though

 

[Killpatrickyum]

Not cool, sounds like a manufacturing fault, is the bike new? Did u get any warranty?

 

[lets ride]

in june but the confidence is low on the bike am bolting in 160 but little worried swing arm might break again this is second fault part iv had with this bike

It's a real bummer mate. Don't let it get you down.
All these china bikes have issues that need to be sorted out. you will get on top of it and do real well at the races.

 

[motovert24]

is it the psto lt160? shouldnt be having any issues as its pretty much an lxr besides afew little bits..
give it a complete check over and see if its all ok.. shouldnt have swingarm issues..

thanks man i hope so it was a real kick in the guts today i was out with mitch and his brother today and nothing worse than pushing the bike across the paddock and everyone looking at me but i have to say mitch brother jumped off his bike and pushed his beside me so big thumbs up there
