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

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.

mines real bad hopefully i can get it done asap.... i havent rode in a long time i was just learning bp before i quit cause i needed to spend more time with my 3 year old but now im rdy to hit it again and i know i will be falling again many times........i doubt the guy from powers would follow thru on that and even if he did take ur frame u would be S.O.L. for a long time......... ive been wanting to go to albq and ride up there

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.
she used to be such a prettybike and so much fun to ride........RIP

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
