Hello to everyone out there. I've got a question on how to fix this problem I found on my 450R today. First off let me tell you the story of how this happened. About 5-6 months ago my so called riding buddy wrecked my 450R. I'm not going to even get into all the details on how but he wrecked it. I took it to our local Honda dealership and asked them to do a thorough check on my quad to see what all was damaged in the wreck. They called themselves doing a check and told me the only thing that was wrong was a bent axle, so they fixed that. About 3 months after that was all over, my mechanic showed me where either my whole frame was bent or either my swingarm was bent during the wreck. I said to myself okay I could live with it being kinda crooked sitting from the rear view for now until I save up enough money to get it fixed. But today I was just looking at my quad, you know visually inspecting it when I found this big crack where the swingarm is connected to motor. Now I'm like oh SH*T, how do I fix this? Any ideas on how to fix this problem? I've enclosed three pics so you can see what I'm talking about.
