Hey guys, i've heard of W-arms cracking or breaking off or something like that on many Yamaha sleds, and i was wondering, is that problem also on my 2001 Phazer Mountain Lite??? It is a completely stock 136", but anyways, nothing is touched on the suspension, except that the guy I bought it off replaced all the bearings in the rear suspension last year. If this is a problem in my sled, what can i do to fix that problem so it wont ever happen? I don't want to and i cant afford to buy another suspension if this breaks.
 

you have nothing to worry about the 121 was the one with the problem ...the 136 mounts different to the rails ...136 didnt that problem
 
Seems like the 121 often cracks at the welds at the front axle. Some riders replace the W-arm with a chrome-moly H-arm.
