a rock bounced up on the highway, almost hit me in the nads, and nicked my frame in the cast section on the right side below where the tank bolts down in the rear. its just a small nick maybe about 1/16" deep and 1/4" long. should i be worried about the frame developing a crack there. the frame can't be that damn brittle. anybody have any experience with nicks and scratches on the frame? thanks[sm=icon_cheers.gif]

 

Happens all the time.

You broke your "rock" cherry.

 

so no worries, the cast part of the frame should bend before it cracks? thanks, this **** is worrying me as the bike is only 2 months old. i sure as hell don't want a crack to develop that could cause my subframe to come loose. i hope F4i frames are as tough as stunters say they are.[sm=icon_rock.gif]

 

hahah rock cherry

 

Post a pic. It's prob. nothing to worry about.

 

can always go to a weld shop

 

Oh yea. While you guys are on the subject remember to watchout for gravel on the road. Do not try to ride over it at high speed or your going down hard. Sand sucks too. However, gravel = hitting floor.

 

your frame and subframe are fine. dont worry about them
