Just for the sake of it...
Does anyone have a CRF around 2010 that has a slight bend on this part of the frame?Its hard to see but I just noticed it last night and don't know anyone with a CRF of this year I can compare to.
Thanks!

I'm 90% sure my '12 has this same bend. Was this after a MASSIVE wreck?

I've had several nasty cased jumps but no wrecks yet this year. I couldn't imagine the frame bending like that..

I'd be a little worried. Almost worried enough to cut the frame right there to put in a y section to accept a big two stroke pipe!!!!!

Looks normal to me? It seems like it would be really hard to bend that downtube without bending or breaking your fork first?

Maybe post some other photos that are brighter?

It's very hard to see but if you run your hand along the frame you can feel a depression. I agree, I think I would break before the frame would bend there. Thought I would see what others thought after I noticed it. Thanks!
