shercoben12 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 just found this video of a 2011 125 and he does a flip turn and then the frame snaps clean apart and the bike revs soo high. skip too 4 mins 45 secs for the snap. is this a known problem or is it down to very hard use- oh and a bet shirty would not replace-beta would!

twinshocktosser Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Saw a similar thing happen last year in the UK on a '09 250 gasgas , exactly the same place on the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan williams Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 I do know Beta replaced a lot of frames on the '09 EVOs. I've seen the shelves of the US importer with the chopped off headstocks. (makes sure the frames are not used again) I think Shirty would step up if it was a manufacturing defect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ham2 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Really let's see them:p Ben, it might be easier for you to search the TC archives as this type of structural 'fault/damage' has been posted a few times over the years. Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
