Quote from: yogi799 on January 09, 2025, 12:25:37 AMI have a buddy who cut out the bad part of the frame and welded in a stronger piece of box tubing. The Gen3 frame is literally 16g tubing. its so weak. He got the steering back to about 95% it runs fine now. No issues yet so we will see.
Not sure how you've managed bro (let us know), but TBH, i would just venture to learn how to weld at this point. I have a friend who rides very hard and the amount of frame fixing he's done is insane. A arm brackets broke off literally, that is how hard he rides. He works on a bike for 2 days and the frame and everything is like new. That is my goal one day, consider it too if you ride a lot. Invest once and forever fix stuff like that on your own.

CForce 1000 / GEN3 Frame bent
July 06, 2024, 04:34:47 PM
Hi all,
Just bought a GEN3 and was doing some trail riding and got caught in a rut and clipped a tree going about 10mph. Got thrown off but the Gen3 bared the brunt. Looks like the right front tire is pushed back about 4-6 inches and the lower A-arm bent the frame. Nothing else is broken. It's still works but steering is wonky. Took it to the dealer and they said they have to replace the whole frame. Does that sound right. Seems to me they could straighten the frame and weld on a support piece. Any help would be great. Should I take it to a body shop or just file a claim with insurance?
