I had my first crash yesterday. Lost traction around a corner on a logging road and went into the bush going 75 km/h. I was launched off the machine and went flying into the woods, somehow missing the ash tree in front of me and landing on a pile of leaves. I’m extremely lucky. The bad news is my 450 Grizzly smoked a rock. The impact happened on my plow mount on the left hand side. After being winched out of the woods, I was able to ride out without noticing any problems with the machine.

The front grill guard is bent as is the lower A-arm and plow mount plate (plow still mounts, but the blade is now on a slight angle). Those are bolt on parts so I’m not really concerned.Upon further inspection, it appears that I pushed the frame in a bit. I have no idea how bad the damage really is, so I’m asking you for your help before I go to the dealer to have an assessment done for $100.

What do you guys think?
