No the whole rear end is welded so looks like I need a new rear end.
I had hoped I could have it repaired but it looks like its fooked  |

email RM and see if theres a warrenty
say it snapped when you were riding and they might send you one or give you one cheap etc worth a try? plan it out first though to make sure it all makes sense and seems as though it was a manufacturing fault _________________

cant you just saw it off, heat it up, then straighten it they weld it back on? it is worth a try if you have to get a new swing arm anyway, i am sure you can do something, just stick it in a massive vice, that should sort it!! |

I did try to straighten it and it just snaped off.
Theres not really enough metal to get a good weld on it it just wouldnt be strong enough.
Think i might make it into a lamp or bedside table  |
