Yikes! I've never had the slightest problem with my 2011 B frame.The thumper motor on the F is going weigh more than a 2 stroke.

I had it welded by a friend who is an expert welder so I would think it is better now than when it was new. I live in Sweden and use it for typical Swedish enduro.

Broken Frames
Quote:
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... |

Either way you go, I would make sure all of the bolts on the engine mounts are torqued to spec and double check these from time to time. If the motor is vibrating in the mounts, this could cause the welds to cold work themselves. Not saying this is what happened, but always a possibility. Does anyone know if a 2013 frame could be swapped for Jim's 2012 frame? It seems that the shock and linkage are perhaps the only thing that changed between 12-13. Not sure if this would work, but it may expand options for purchasing a replacement frame. |

I'm sure I remember another thread where someone had issues with the lower engine mounts. Edit: Found the thread - http://www.gasgasrider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=22047 |

Part number for the 2013- BE10000013013 Part numbers for 2011 and 2014 are much different. Looks like the only difference between the 2012 and 2013 might be just the steering lock. I don't see much else? I have found both a 2013 and a 2012 just waiting for the pictures and price. 250 and 300 part numbers are the same. I just keep thinking after (3) breaks I will loose too much of the strength integrity and alignment if I weld it up again... |

2013 E-start model: http://www.gasgasaustralia.com.au/en...0-e/frame-c132 2013 Racing model: http://www.gasgasaustralia.com.au/en...ing/frame-c162 Cross referencing the part numbers though shows both 2013 models as BE10000013013. This is clearly incorrect. The images show differences in both the linkage attachment and also the adjustable footpeg mounts. The 2014 frame then has changes in several other places to cut weight, and also has the adjustable peg mounts. Having my 2013 side by side with a 2015 the 15 looked to be more compact (shorter possibly) by naked eye. Never took the time to measure them though. Mine is the racing model. |
