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!

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!

Re: what should i do?

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 ****.
