totalshell Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 WELL I'D CHECK OUT IF A 2001 IS THE SAME AS A 2004 OR AS DAMN NEAR AS MAKES NO DIFFERENCE TO SART WITH. IF THAT IS A NON RUNNER I'D FIND A DECENT ALLOY WELDER. LOOKING CLOSELY UT LOOKS SIMLY LIKE THE METAL HAS FRACTURES RATHER THAN BEEN SHEARED OR TORN OFF. HAD THE SAME HAPPEN ON A BIKE I'D HAD AS A RESULT OF A WHOOPING GREAT WHACK IT HAD HAD MONTHS EARLIER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Whatever the reason, stressed induced, impact, or loose axle, I would just have it professionally welded and machined to spec. The arm on ebay may well work, and fit up to '06 style, yet is still incorrect for the year of the bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony27 Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Looks like someone slipped a gas gas arm in there while you weren't looking That arm in the ebay ad won't fit, the rear brake was mounted above the arm instead of being tucked away. Your rear wheel won't fit in there unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Second photo looks like it's a straightforward casting failure, nobody will be big enough to own up to that, if you get it weld repaired consider putting a fillet into the equation .

pete_scorpa3 Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 It looks as if the casing has been fractured most of the way through for a while. Just one of those things. I'd get it welded and have a plate put on the outside across the welds to help strengthen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1oldbanjo Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Well....this is unfortunately one of the things that can happen when you try to keep everything as light as possible. I would have the broken area welded and ride it while you watch for a reasonably priced replacement. The broken area be ground down in a "V" to allow good penetration and a weld that passes as far down as possible. Then as suggested previously - have additional aluminum welded on the top and bottom as a reinforcement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil king Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Look at what the chain tensioner cam contact point on the swing arm looks like. I think some numpty been working on it(appolagies if it was you). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
