Description
Your YZ426F needs a kickstand that won't fold up or snap when you park on uneven ground or hit a rut. The Ricochet kickstand for 1998-2004 YZ426F models is built from chromoly steel to stay solid where cheaper aluminum units would bend or break. It clamps tight to your swing-arm and sits up high while you're riding so it won't catch on anything.
What You're Getting
The kickstand shaft is 4130 chromoly steel. The bracket and clamp are heat-treated T1 carbon steel — that's about 10 times tougher than regular mild steel. The spring is high-tension steel that holds up to constant vibration and rough use without wearing out. Everything together weighs just 1.5 lbs.
Why Chromoly Works Here
Chromoly is used in aircraft because it's both strong and flexible. Your YZ426F sits on this kickstand day in and day out, and the bike's full weight pushes down on it. Aluminum can't handle that — it bends or cracks. Chromoly stays put. It absorbs impacts from rough terrain without snapping, and it won't bend under the bike's weight even when you're parked on a slope.
Install and Color Options
This bolts on in about 5 minutes. You can get it with a custom powder coat finish that matches OEM colors for a cleaner look — add that option and plan for an extra 1–2 weeks on your order.
