I had some friends come over today and it was nice and we were bored so we took the trike down the street to the dirt jump/field area by my house to mess around for a little bit.
It was running good, everything seemed fine until I tried to start it up after we stopped for a couple minutes. I noticed the engine moving a lot more than it should've been so I took a look around and found this...

The bolt was completely gone, too. I had tried some small-ish jumps with a couple somewhat hard landings which probably caused it.

Think I could still run it with a new bolt? Only one side is cracked luckily, and the pics make it look worse then it is.

The worst part is, I STILL haven't had this thing out on the trails yet, things keep coming up and I end up not going, but next weekend I finally have a chance to go to Stave Lake with it...

Is that oil all over it or is it mud?

Thanks.
I'm hoping thats all it'll take, I'm just wondering if anybody thinks that crack in the mount is something to worry about.



Is that oil all over it or is it mud?

I'd say 90% mud, 10% oil from a leaky exhaust gasket.
It needs a good bath.
