Re: cracked frame any ideas how to weld it?

well first if thats a mohawk on your helmet.... if you get rid of that it would help the crack out ALOT!! then go find a good tig welder and have him fix it... that would be your best bet

Re: cracked frame any ideas how to weld it?

i had a ninja and cracked the frame in 3 spots on the welds, clean through separating them frame from itself in all 3 spots. i sold the bike and the guy who bought it had it all welded up sweet and painted the frame and rides that thing every year and beats on it too.

shipping around 40.00 you could just send the frame not boxed up, then I would wrap it good to send it back to you

Re: cracked frame any ideas how to weld it?

i had a gixxer that formed a hairline crack at the neck.
after riding it around like that for 2 years and thinking it wouldnt get any bigger and figuring "eh i aint worried about it, it'll be fine" this is what happened...

weld that **** asap! either ask one of your buddies if they know someone who is experienced in welding aluminum and will do it on the weekend for cash, or bring it to a place and pay the money to get it proffessionally welded. a new frame will cost you a hell of alot more.

Re: cracked frame any ideas how to weld it?

thats gonna be tough to fix,that whole ear of the frame needs to be chopped off and replaced, dont cheap out, research and find the best welder/fabricator in your area and drop the $$,do both sides too.
ps lose that 12 bar before it chops your *** in half
