About a month ago I bought a 2006 fz6. Looked great, rode great, i checked oil, forks, air filter, etc all before buying. Everything checked out. I even checked the frame for cracks because I knew about the issue with frame sliders snapping the frame. The only explanation I can come up with for missing this was the split and condition of the bracket that was fabricated was a lot better when i looked at it and/or it was a little to dark to see it, it was about 8 oclock pm when i checked it out.
Anyways the frame/motor stress member mount that bolts into the motor is snapped on the right side of the bike, and I've been riding for a month no problems every day and just realized it today upon closer inspection. This isn't my first bike and ive been riding motorcycles and working on them since i was little. Ive attached pictures, should i replace the frame, weld it, or just sell it for a loss as totaled?
Ive called around a couple experienced welders in the area that come to you and they said they could do it if i strip the frame down.
Ive attached pics of it.
What do you guys think i should do?
