I was practicing some wheelies, 1 day, and now my front air box broke from the frame! [}]

Anyone else?

welcome to the 03-04. thats why i try not to wheelie cause i havent reinforced it yet.

Happened to me as well the part is $100. How are you going to go about reinforcing it?

 

[user11241]

I'm thinking about welding a bolt (or nut) to the inside of the frame, and using some backstraps to secure it.

I can't believe how easy it was to break! I only went above 1ft a few times (maybe 3-5 times).

Are there any other problems like this that I should be aware of?


P.S. I'll post some pics of my repair job when I'm done.

man that sucks. i just did my first wheelie the other day 2. anyone know if theres anything in the DIY section about this?

 

[user11241]

Oh, lol. I already fixed it.

I'll take it apart and do a D.I.Y.

I did take a few pics though.

It breaks from slamming those power wheelies down hard. Give it some gas before you put that front wheel down.

wheelies didnt brake it... you did.... settin them down too hard, learn to come down easy.

well im not so sure about that. i dont really wheely. and mine isnt broke, but you can see that it is sagging down some. theres now a gap on the top. and it used to be even. but its friggin plastic..wtf..
