Welding Dirt Bike Aluminium Subframe

Unfortunately not all wheelies go to plan! Today I'm welding a friends KTM 300 two stroke dirt bike aluminium subframe. The subframe snapped just after the structural join. Repair went according to plan.

Thanks Paolo! That's it, getting more use out of parts instead of this "throw it away and replace" world we live in 🔥
Top job on that subframe! Most guys would spend big bucks on replacing the whole thing.

How strong would a welded swingarm be because mine had be aluminium welded and it cracked but I’ve been told about tig welding it

Typically I stay away from welding things like frames and swing arms, they have the potential to hurt you if you have part failure. I'd recommend looking for a used swing arm if you have a tighter budget 🤘

@@AdvSouthAfrica the budget is no worries it’s just finding a good condition Rm85L swing arm for a 07 nowadays is no easy task. Do you know if it got tig welded with a sleeve on the inside if it would be very strong

Very hard to see how strong it will be without seeing the part but honestly rather try find a replacement. You're also relying on the skill of the welder there. Also if the swing arm snapped then double check suspension because swing arms shouldn't be cracking up
