[jarkid27]

ive heard of it........but only on new GSX-R1000's

 

[jimmydasnake]

yeah cracked frames only happen on gixxers and yamaha's...never a kawi

is a 99 a steel or aluminum frame? and yes wheelies can cause multiple problems....if done incorrectly

 

[jdgun_13]

That would be an Aluminum frame....

SOmebody isn't rolling their throttle right when they bring their wheelie down.

time to open up an ebay account and sell that sob as a stunt bike

If Tig welded, would it be ok??? Then sell it ...

 

[nevada]

the problem with welding. is that without some sort of plate to reinforce, it will eventually crack following the weld. it will causes a stress point and more than likely it will happen again. PROPERLY repaired it may last for a long time though.
