I don't recall if this was ever polled, but it should help to produce some real-life statistics on the issue.
 
two rx-warriors... 420miles on the first one..

currently 1370miles on the second.. although i didnt hit any really bad trails last year.. i have yet to have a broken anything..

Had 3200miles on my viper.. HARD BEATING... WORST TRAILS IVE EVER SEEN and we checked the W arm and it wasnt broken!
 
Have not broke a w arm since my 2000 sxr 700, 5500 miles on the viper with no problem 800 on the warrior with out a problem.
 
'01 SRX 700 4,500 miles....rode HARD! (Whooped it's #*$&@) NO Problems with W Arm
'03 RX Shorty 2,600 miles Last 1,200 of those 2,600 were rough as hell and no problems yet! Knock on wood.
Buddy has '03 RX Shorty with turbo and he finally broke his #*$&@ last year along with puncturing the cooler He has 3,200 miles of which 200 were turbo miles
 
Broke the W arm the first season, second year the relay rods broke. With 5,900 miles and these being the only two issues I'm sure not complaining. Fully expect the monoshock skid to hold up much better.
 
Caught mine before it cracked all the way through and welded a bunch more steel to it! Everyone just keep a close eye on them because the cracks are sometimes hard to see! You would much rather catch it at home rather than have it bust on the trail!

I dont have to worry about mine any more...my Yamadog is gettin' a little pussy under it!!

Focker
 
I just found a hairline crack on my 05 RX-1's w-arm.

The bad news is they are backordered. I don't know if that means many others have broken or they just didn't make hardly any.

Hopefully me dealer/Yamaha can set me up before our trip up North next week.
 
I'm still a little worried about mine too but it's an '04 and if it it goes, I won't buy another OEM arm.
