I just parked my first 12 last friday. The next day i was putting a new rear brake lever on and noticed a 2 inch crack in my frame. it is right where the subframe connects to the frame. I have a couple guys that are willing to weld it. Is that going to be strong enough? ? thanks JOEJOE

 

welding should work fine. how hard did you hit?

 

damn man..i slam mine down hard and no problems.

just weld it and it'll be fine.

 

binder you only can do that kuz you got a honda. GsxRs always do that ****. everyone should just go with HONDA that **** works no matter what. tell me when you find a way to break a honda except totaling it.

 

sweet...so your'e saying i have a bike that has been touched by the hand of god?

the most i've done to my bike is tweak the subframe a little...i did it when i did the avatar picture of throwing sparks, i came down hella hard to throw sparks but i was on an angle so it hit all on one side and tweaked it a little.....nothing a sledge hammer couldn't fix.

i know honda's are pimp. i hear about gixxer frame problems a lot. that and the imfamous lock up of the motor.

 

.........Ride Red( Nuff Said) lol

 

900's crack all the time- just weld it up!

 

My buddy just cracked an R1. I think its a 2001

 

ya, i cracked the side mount of my frame on my 929 but that was because of a hard 12 wreck....and it was hte mount so it's not real sturdy to begin with.

 

I had this same problem, but I went a little extreme. I built a steel sub frame cause I cracked it I also had a 1/4 inch piece of aluminum welded on the side of the frame which is connected to where the sub is mounted, here are some pics [not the best pics in the world]. send me a pm for more info.

 

one more pic

 

My gixxer frame bent at the head tube from dropping it hard. I am getting a honda next. I love my gixxer but honda seems like there r less things to worry about.

 

I broke my lower left tab for my subframe so I had it welded up and both sides braced kinda like mike's. Subframe is broke now from Daniel wrecking it but I got my new one today and it's getting braced liked Motopsycho's tomorrow. Should be gorilla scrapin by friday!

 

I didnt really hit it that hard i think that i hit it at a weird angle. Thanks for the advice. i will just get it welded and keep practicing. thanks joejoe

 

JoeJoe bro you parked thats , since that fri night you saw me hit 12bves i have been doing them every chance i get.
hey you want to go hit some more just give me a call!
-sean
p.s. welding that should be find as long as the guy who does it know what hes doing!

 

the 929 subframes are kinda weak. Ive seen my boys crack about 6 of em & they don't smash em that hard.

my 900rr subframe on the other hand, i have smashed that thing like a gorilla & it wont even bend.

if jesus stunted a bike - it would be a 900rr

 

I SLAM MY S%$T HARD IT F#@k A COUPLE TIMES AND THE ONLY THING I GOT WAS A LOSE SOFTFRAME.900RR ARE GANGSTA

 

True, true, true.... . This would make for a great T-Shirt.

If you hang around SL you'll hear how great this bike is.

 

Or "if Jesus stunted a stunt bike, it would be a double R"

 

its cuz u gotta fkn pos skuzuki! how bout thenm apples! see now u got 2 gixxer frames to weld! ps, i need my peter north movie back SOON!!!
