i have an 03 gsxr 600 thats been down a few times and my frame has some fine cracks in it. does anyone know if it will hold if welded? also i was still using the old free style cage and lost a twelvescrape at around 20mph and broke off a frame tab to the subframe, should i reweld the broken tab or fab up another one? any help would be lovely...

if you have some who knows how to weld it properly you should not have a problem what so ever but make sure you have them weld it deep enough if it is for stunting only you may want to double up welds on your tabs or support them better than factory so good luck

Aw sounds too familar to me. Yeah the gixxer frames are weak in the neck area./ Just got done doing a frame swap on my 02. The frame had fab work done. The neck was crack and they tried to weld over it....but it did not hold. Be careful welding this frame. the sheet metal is extremely thin. You dont burn in enough and the weld will not hold....too much and you'll burn right throught making a weak point even weaker. As far as the tabs for the subframe just fab up something. The guy who did my old frame seemed to shave down where your tab broke evenly on both sides then welded a round spacer type things on each side evenly....seems to be secure cause they were holding great. anyway....look up craigslist to see if anyone around has a frame for that year.. Good luck!

the re-covered motor mount area here helped a lot, but once they start cracking they dont stop
