Hi all,

Just joined the forum and have found it very informative as i have owned a 425 Blade for about 2 weeks now.

Went for a ride the other day and i was going slow and about to cross a creek when the wheels locked up. Upon closer inspection the universal joint had completely collapsed and the two pieces either side holding the uni had sheared through.

What would cause this?

I have spoken to a dealer and they are sending parts up when they arrive. Is this likely to happen again?

Is there a stronger universal i can get myself and put it in even if its not a TGB one?

Because the uni broke, do i have to worry about any other damage? Eg. bearings/seals?

Many thanks,
Geoff
