Snapped frame on wild 300

[case-racing]

Ok so i broke my frame the other week racing Moto X and im not sure what to do, it snapped just above the swing arm mount on the right side and it broke on a diagonal so what do i do ? , I dont want to scrap the bike but im not entirely sure plating it will hold properly.

Cheers

There was a frame on ebay sometime ago,not sure if it still is.Its got to be repairable,these quads are to rare to part out.

Take it to a good welding shop in your area. They should be able to fix it and reinforce it. FYI- Discontect your CDI completely before they weld on it.

cheers guys, im going to fix it and use it for general riding, The old girls had a hard life and as you said rare bikes shouldn't get parted out. Just means ill have to buy another race quad.

If you get it welded correctly and reinforced, it should be stronger than it was before.

I would strip it completely bare. Inspect the entire frame, then proceed to repairs. If there's any other weak spots...the reinforced part of the chassis could cause stress & possible damage at some other point. Reinforce all possible weak spots(damaged or not). Your already spending money on one repair. Might as well try keeping it at one repair.

I had my frame crack in the same area when I was racing mine in local GPs and WORCS, I had it welded and put a small piece on to rienforce it.
When reassembling I noticed that the frame was stressed in at the pivot bolt, so I put a shim washer on the right side between the frame & swingarm. No problems after.
