Nicely maintained mx bike!!

My connecting rod snapped and I JB welded it back up, it's holding up great now over 100 hours of riding time, also broke my clutch basket and JB welded it back up to, this other time I broke my swing arm also and JB weld did the trick also and it's fixed. JB weld is the best stuff out there.

Jb weld a connecting rod?! Somethings you should just replace. A connecting rod is one of those things.

I honestly just don't believe the connecting rod. There's videos on KZread here of people trying that as an experiment and it did NOT work!

Never touch the surface you want to glue something to. Except for that, nice video. :)

I carry epoxy putty in my toolkit but have never needed to use it. If you want a more permanent repair I have found aluminium brazing rods that melt at a low temperature that I think would be great for a permanent fix without welding, again never used though!

​@vegasromaniac hi buddy. How did it hold up ?

You don't have to drain the oil to do that, you can simply lay it on its side, clean the surface with a damp soapy rag, sand it and then apply the jb weld.

I was due for an oil change.. But you are right. On the trail if it happens, lay the bike and your golden

You could use the plastic the jb weld came in as the container

After 5000 miles since than it works great, I dropped it twice since than so I got a better skid plate, but the jb weld got scratched but holds strong. I put total of 3 layers.. :-) go for it man is better than new

you should put some protection over case, saves keep fixing it.
