Just tell the welder that the frame is ChroMoly and he/she will know what to do. Cheers. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
husky Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Had the same thing on an 04.Had it tig welded with stainless wire,the weld doesn't rust then.Unplug or better still remove all the electrics,high current welding can fry them.Doesn't allways happen but it's better safe than sorry with expensive black boxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladytrialer Posted April 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 just had the peg lug welded back on and never unpluged anything, been out on it for a couple hours and its fine. the chap that did it is an enduro rider (ec 250) , done welding over 25 years, said the currant wont do anything to it. on this occasion (at least ) he was right.
