hey everyone,
I bought my warrior used and when i got it the wheels were fine. I had the stockers on it when i got it and he threw in a set of mudshark rear tires on a set of rims too. Somehow my stockers (stuntish tires) got bent. I dont do too much jumping, just mostly wheelies and endos and etc. I put my set of mudsharks on and one of those wheels is bent also, which caused me to flip the bike 3 times this weekend and bend the handlebars. I think one of the mudsharks was already bent. The stockers werent bent before hand. So the question of this novel is, Would me running too low of air pressure in the tire cause the rim to bend or what? Anyone have any ideas of what would've caused this to bend? Thanks a lot in advance

Could be if your running them way too low and riding on the street. Make sure and check and see if the quad has self centering lug nuts (I dont think Warriors do ) if it does check and make sure each has seated itself

I don't think I have any rims that aren't slightly bent. When I run on the street I've got 1.5 lbs of air in the rear and 5 in the front. Mine are bent from trail riding and continually losing the battle to trees.

yeah i have bent 5 front rims the air pressire is always low due to i only ride street.....and bent one back one when i loooped a thrid gear coastie..not pretty..haha

i wouldn't care......but everytime i wheelie....i either go directly right or directly left which causes the bike to fall over .....this happend last weekend and bent my bars

that sounds like you air pressure in the tires if it isnt the same then it will pull it is kinda hard to dial in but when you do it should be ok..........if it pulls to the right let some air out of the left tire, and vice versa.

is this just a temporary fix or should this solve my problem? buying new rims isnt on the agenda since i now have to buy bars but if i have to.....then i have to...
