Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Aluminum Frame Conversion (AFC)

Quick question on frame breakage

<< < (2/3) > >>

SS109:
I know how SH does their frames. I didn't ask about specific ways someone has done the their own AF conversion or where it failed physically. I asked specifically whether it failed from riding MX or off road. It's a pretty simple question I thought. The reason I have asked that particular question is due to the fact of some known catastrophic failures and I want to know the type of riding they were doing.

cmotodad:
We have built a few CR500AF's. We have cracked the welds on 2. We ride them quite hard on an mx track regularly.

sandblaster:
There was some pics here before the great crash of this site and it showed a typical breakage and it was MX

sandblaster:
Motocross

cmotodad:
I really think it has more to do with the vibration when mains are worn and crank not tight. JMO. The ones we broke had the same engine and it vibrated more than the one I have now.
