just wanted to know if u guys think its a weak point when im out jumpin on the track?:confused: Is it somthen to worry about and if so how should i go about fixing it. I also had a question about gusseting, when would this be nessasary, at what size of jumps would a gussetd frame be nessasary. Anyone have pics of their gussested frame? experiences in which they WISH they gussested it and have cracks or stress points?

dont see the bend but, thats what they make side plates for, id say guesset it no matter what, but others may say differnt id say guesset if you race and ride hard

its the side of the frame closest to you. right in the bottom of the tubbing, look closer lol

If thats on the bottom of the frame, i wouldnt worry about it. On my old 440 it had a few real good dents from trail riding on the bottom of the frame and held up fine on a mx track.

I just thought of something else if you was really worried about it, strip the quad, find a hole in the frame and plug all the holes up, fill it up with water, put it in a freezer for a day or so, then unthaw it. Really way too much work for a small ding like that but if you wanted to fix it that would be the best way in my eyes. Hope i helped. ;)

LMAO, dude, i'd like to think you're joking but it's pretty evident that you were serious.

Why wouldnt it work? I do it to metal pipes and stuff if they are dinged or dented.

[2001400exrider]

but my whole frame lol..if i were even to CONSIDER IT, i dont even have a freezer that woul fit it:p

[MX174]

lol i see now, i thought you guys was laughin because it wouldnt work. I just know some people who are so paticular about little **** they would go to that extreme just to fix a little spot like that.

I don't think thats from jumping. Looks like it could be from a rock or something like that, i wouldn't worry about it. It isn't even that big anyway. :macho
