what should i do?
I knew this was going to happen one day. I hit the tail doin a wheelie and jammed the brake to hard. bike slammed to the ground. good thing i was goin slow, landed on my feet didnt get hurt. Ive read that people here tig welded the frame plenty of times. Do they hold up? Should i have a shop put reinforceing plates to?
It broke right on the weld!

****** fixxers 
Happened to some kid who rides at one of my old spots. he got it welded and had plates to reinforce his ****. You should try to sell the bike and buy a honda.

Re: what should i do?
ya im prob just gona weld it or get a new frame. i only got liability and still owe on it. i dont know if it was a good thing or bad thing to do but i told a suzuki rep about it and iam still watin to here from him. i was thinkin a faulty weld but i honestly dont think there gona do anything! The only damage is the broken frame, tweaked subframe and some plastics. Im shocked the fork seals didnt blow!

They probably wont do anything. I would write a few more letters and call a few more people cause the more people at Suzuki you speak to the better chance you have of one of them giving a ****.
