Re: yea another cracked frame ?
Had mine welded. It started cracking again an inch away from the weld. I just rode until the crack was almost all the way around the frame. Probly not a good idea though. I hope my new frame last. I'll be tightening my cage every chance I get this time, lol.

Re: yea another cracked frame ?
Where does it crack, down the sides of the intake tube? Would like to try to brace it before it cracks

Re: yea another cracked frame ?
Mine started cracking just before the neck, towards the bottom. Then the second crack started pretty much on the weld and made its way all the way around.

I was getting desperate at that point.
It actually slowed the crack from going upward a little, there was nothing I could do about it attacking the neck weld.

I was going to say get it welded then a plate welded on top ,but that frame is toast, I would buy a freash one and get it renforced before you ride.

Re: yea another cracked frame ?
I've cracked 2 636 frames. both rewelded by my boss who has 15 year exp. welding aluminum and they both would re-crack next to the weld.

Re: yea another cracked frame ?
The aluminum is heat treated. When you weld it, you have to get it heat treated again (I dont know how you would do that) otherwise its only a fraction of the strength.
