Any of you seen a crack like this before?

She's cracked between the two sharpie arrows.



That's a .003" feeler gauge.



Is this a typical place for a gen 3 to crack?

I only ride sand dunes, don't jump much or high, and have only had minor spills, if you can just grab the clutch, pick the bike up, jump on and go, shouldn't even be called a spill in my book


I'm gonna go way out on a limb here and guess the previous owners rode it hard. I've had the bike for a few years now, and the crack just recently showed up.

Just thought I'd share.

I would weld that up and ride it.If it cracks again then scrap it.Kind of hard to repair that properly because you cant weld both sides of the crack.I would drill a hole ant each ends of the crack and weld it up.

I would look inside the head tube to see if it's cracked there too.If it is then toss it.

Toss it my way

You can easily sink enough heat into that to not worry about the back side, never seen that before tho.
