09 D8 Motor Mounts

Has anybody on here broken both front mounts? I am not sure if mine are broke or just came loose and fell out since I have not had the time to pull anything apart. Either way I can grab a hold of the front of my motor and move it up and down to the point that it broke the flange off my pipe.

Not completely uncommon. Here is a link to more info.

this was common on many 08's including mine.

Cheap Hecho in China hardware.

Thanks for the info Monte. I still have to pull things apart and see exactly what happened. I will be going with stronger bolts for sure. Am I going to need to pull the motor or can it be done in the sled?

I am thinking if I have to pull the motor I will be done for the season... While I have it out I am going to swap pistons or maybe do the "fix" and some clutch work so I am ready to go next season.
