2020 Khaos BROKEN TORQUE ARM

[MikeMetzger]

Broke my torque arm this weekend. Before putting a new one on wanted to know if this is common, or due to my suspension setup etc. Anyone with experience on this that can chime in I’d appreciate it !

I’ve broken 2-3 over the years. Finally I had a welder put some chromoly tabs at each of the welds. Wrecked a track once so this is cheap insurance. They break at the welds every time.

I broke mine last year on my 2019, not sure how long it had been broken, but noticed it between trips. I had never seen it before but its apparently common. Had it welded up and was good to go.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I’m 65 and probably 260+ with all my gear. Maybe it’s just a big guy issue ?‍
Sounds like my best bet is going to be re-welding it and adding some extra strength

We just put one on my buddies 2017 RMK yesterday. They are getting hard to find too.

Keep an eye on them, I have also broken a few over the last several years. Some crack at the welds others last forever. The last one I had break came apart at 70 MPH, went through the track, tunnel, and gas tank, lucky to be alive, very dangerous!!!
