worst thing my 3rd gen Hondas have is damage from the shrouds rubbing on the frame. I put some rubber tape in those areas.

Yes I think it could be welded and be strong, but I would suggest that there is another problem somewhere causing this type of stress crack. Broken or loose motor mounts, upper engine braces or something is allowing this to happen.

I Just striped the frame bare and found nothing . No broken motor mounts nothing loose . I already picked up another 07 cr250 and striped it down to bare frame and found nothing but years of dirt and oil buyt no cracks . So i am gonna take all my new parts and build another . It appears that the casting is coming apart which means it would eventually make it to the stearing steam races . Thought about having it welded but i do not know much about welding cast aluminum .



If i do have it welded i would make it my woods bike. If not i have a whole extra bike worth of parts ...What should i do ??

Assemble the bike, then either hang it from the rafters in your shop or mount it above your fireplace.
