I ride a 98 750 that I bought 2 years ago. I bent the frame after looping it on a stand-up gone bad last summer . I now have a replacement lined up and want to know if there are any tricks I should know about before I put it together. Any weak spots I should have re-welded or braced ? I know I will be needing a cage soon as well.
Thanks for any input you might have

Dood where did it bend??
My srad is hardcore durable. I break pegs and rearsets all the time but that's my only complaint.
Oh, and I bent the subframe but other than that it's straight as a mufukin arrow..... PIMPPIMPPIMP

 

some of the weakspots are the suzuki emblems, motor, and VIN tag that says Suzuki...j/k I've seen most gixxers w/ bent frames up by the air ducts, as far as strengthining them, check w/ antmist

 

yeah dood I still have half of a RR to sell u if u want it....
u wanna talk cracked frames??

no for real though I have seen em crack by the ram air tubes but it's no big deal u can just weld it.
I've never seen one bend

 

SRAD frames are pretty solid they rarely have problems from hardcore stunting.clutches have always been a problem,good synthetic oil and stock fibers only.

 

Well guys I looped a stand-up at about 70mph last summer. After replacing all the plastic and clip ons I noticed the front wheel was way to close to the front fairing. The frame is bent at the steering head . My frame is polished so you can see the kink real easy. I still rode it the rest of last season anyway . I scored a used frame that I am getting ready to swap out . I have the bike in a zillion peices right now. I plan on having the bent frame fixed when I have some extra $$$$$. I also need the rims fixed as well. A guy from michigan said he has the hook up for frame and wheel repair so Ill be hitting him up this summer.
I just wanted to prevent any trouble spots while the bike was apart .

thanks , mike

 

90-2k frames....i've seen a couple frames crack along the top of the frame spar about halfway down(about even with the carbs) . just little cracks through the welds but then it progresses into the frame. may be caused from the gas tank hitting it???
