Default vforce 3's didn't last long...

i went riding this last weekend and got a bout a mile down the road and i lost power... i turned back around and barly made it to my truck thought i fouled a plug but turns out my reeds broke... i've only had them for about a year maybe two ... not a lot or ride time ... they sure didn't last too long... anyways got a new set today... thinking about putting them on but i was thinking of flushing my case first??? whata you guys think??

Did the pedals just fall into pieces or break off where they mount?

I'd be looking into full reimbursement or replacement, you have your receipt? There is a warranty on them!

they say the reeds should last 2 years before you should replace them. I have 397 hours on mine and they still look brand new, but i always carry a replacement set to the track with me.

A friend ran his Banshee VF2's for 7 years till one pedal broke off!
Going on two years on my Banshee VF3's, got the replacements on deck and yes they came from RJ ATV!
