Is it bad to ride with a bent subframe? I can't put my seat back on it so if i rode I'd be standing up the whole time..

Why not jsut try to bungie cord it or ziptie your seat on??? Im sure you can find a way under the back somewhere.

LOL...my subframe is also bent, but not as bad as yours it seems...I would think as long as your gonna take it easy and not be doing anything extremely crazy....you should be ok...strap a boat cushion to the frame and ride on!

I would fix it first. Being that your subframe is bent you could risk having your airboot/airbox pop off the carb and suck dirt and water into the carb. It really depends how bad it is but if the seat wont go on it looks like u messed it up pretty bad.

How did u bend it? Did you check to see if other stuff is broken too?
