I am curious, do you also have a lift?
yes quite a few of us have broke them I have a stock bike with 27" muddlites and broke mine. Last weekend I was pulling my trailer back to camp and bent the 1st gear shift fork the shop said almost $2000.00 to fix. the extended warranty will not cover but it covered my u-joint
no i do not have a lift just stock with 27" tires
My 2nd gear shift fork is bent!! Oh yeah I broke a u joint within 3 days of having my lift....needless to say it came right back off
sounds like when you put a lift in it happens to a lot of you guys

IF YOU WOIRED BOUT BRAKEN THE U-JOINT THEN GET THE TURNER U-JOINT

I broke two rear u- joint's on my Foreman. Both times with lift. So, I went and bought a Grizz 700 with EPS and it is awesome. I can put 29.5's without a lift and blaze any Honda any day of the week. And the IRS is the shiznit. I will admit you can't submerse them like a Honda but it's way better than the Rincon. I have a few friends that ride Foremans still and they are starting to have lots of problems from treating their bikes like jet-ski's.
