Hit a downed tree with my 08' Dragon 700 RMK today. Three Skidoo Rev's and a Yamaha Mountain Max hit it with no problems, but I wasn't so lucky. The lower control arm is bent bad, and the upper is touching my Walker Evans shock. I road out about 20 miles with it darting and very limited turning range. Worried about what I'll find on my shock mounts and bulkhead tomorrow. Anyone had this happen to them?
Dragon RMK A-Arm Wasted Today

it should be fine...normally doesnt hurt the bulkhead..you might consider buying holz arms..pretty common to get stockers, holz arms are stronger but not so strong to tear up the bulkhead....look the shock over close..if it hit it hard the shaft might be bent...oregon800polaris on here is a great guy for holz stuff...
What is the best way to tell if the upper arm is bent. It didn't contact the tree, but the shock is touching it?
Take the a arm off of both sides (upper) lay them top-to-top over each other... check for bends.
Good chance your REV buddies have a bent nun and dont know about it yet.
Thanks for the help guys! I'll check it over tomorrow and give an update.
Is it pretty common to take out the arms on our dragons? I put dang near a 45 degree kink in the bottom left a-arm on saturday. that same kind of shot took out the nun on my dads ski-doo about 4 weeks ago.
i replaced mine with z broz i have two good uppers and one good lower sitting around pm me if you need some stock replacements
Tore the front end down today. Bent lower control arm of course and bent steering post. The steering post is bent so bad it hits the oil tank when I turn it. So $250 or so and i'm back in the powder.
