03 RM250 linkage snapped

[d36RM racer]

I was riding at hangtown today and riding great the bike was running superb everything was good i was getting faster every lap untill I hit the 2nd tripple landed it fine but the rear end just collapsed. The first thing i thought the shock may have blown out but as soon as i pulled off and looked the center linkage peice was snapped in half where it pivots on the swingarm bolt.Has anyone ever had this happen? It seems like a feak accident to me and i grease the linkage every few months. The real bad news is that this part is gonna cost a little over 200 dollars for a small peice thats what the oem parts site says or does procircuit or any other aftermarket brand make a replacment i know they make one for the KX but i have never seen a suzuki one. I guess im gonna have to wait even longer to revalve my bike :bang:

Try finding a second hand part, your break was just a freak thing. Ive never heard of a break like that on such a new bike. Unless your as big as bubba?
