crf50 frame stretch?

[Joe_148]

Hey guys, I just bought an 05 crf50. I mainly use it to stunt on (ride wheelies etc) and sometimes I go trail riding in at our camp. I dont plan on jumping it at all, because of the choppered frame you can get..just how easy is it to stretch the frame? do you think landing from wheelies could do it?

oh no..... i abuse 50's :), and the frame dont stretch ... i mean ya it will if yur doing big bike jumps.. but if u keep it under 20 feet u should be ok .. just stay away from casing or landing flat or it really stresses the frame.. i mean us kids are 120-170 pounds goin 20 feet on a 60 pound kids bike.. also a frame brase might be a helpfull solution

the frame is fairly solid. with wheelies, like on street bikes, you will need to keep up on steering stem bearings. They get pounded. Also you are more likely to bend the forks out first...they don't stand up to abuse as easily.
