Frame Cracks

[Mav_KFX400]

Has anyone else had there frame crack around where the steering stem connects? i have two cracks, one on each side of the brace that the steering stem connects to. Also is there a gusset that i can have welded in there to strengthen it for future abuse? like maybe a bare gusset piece? pictures of this gusset would be great

Thanks for your help

I'll try to get a pic of the cracks on here tomorrow...

Any reputable welding shop/ fabricator can make a gussest to fit into any joint in the frame.

I would like to see this crack, the only issue I have in that area is the steering stem bushing.
Is this common?

Are you developing play in the bushing very quickly? Over time the bushing will actually wear the STEM if the bushing is left w/ play for too long. Put a new bushing in the frame and remount the stem. if the stem has play even w/ the new bushing your stem is shot and needs replaced.
