I spoke to a guy at the Swedish gasgas importer and he told me that sort of thing had only happened to pro-riders and was nothing I should worry about. When I told him that it has happened to my bike with the B-shape frame and a buddy with the new 2014 frame he had no comments about it. I know a Swedish pro that has done some MX with his EC300R and his frame broke and caused a major crash. Is this something you guys have experienced? I am in the market for a new bike and have always had gasgas with the exception for an orange 350 during a short period. I will probably buy a new GG but this frame problem is something that doesn't feel right.

I have a 2012 EC250R and have broke the frame in (3) three places. 1. The right lower frame just forward of the bottom motor mount. 2. The left bottom lower motor mount. 3. And just last week the upper tube just below the top triple clamp. 360 degrees around. I moto for practice and compete in enduros. I'm a 50+A rider. Last enduro was the 2017 Idaho City 100.
We ride Arizona desert that can get pretty rocky. Now I'm chasing too many welds, so looks like I need a new frame. Based off what you have said and what I have experienced, this may be a problem for that year? Not sure...
