I bent the back tab that holds the plastic chain guard on. as I was bending it back in place, the tab snapped off.

so, what type of material is the swingarm made of on an 09 klx250s? i have a small flux welder, and can weld it back on, but I don't want to blow a hole in it, dependent on what the material is.

 

Its aluminum and your flux machine will not do it.

I didn't know the 09 got an aluminium swing arm.

The 06 is definitely steel.

 

Yeah, I love the fact that my '06 is steel so that I can attach those neat refrigerator magnets to it.

 

Sorry, Mine is an 09 SF and its aluminum. One of the reasons I bought the bike. I am a weldor.

Did you guys luck out? My 07R has an alloy swing arm.

Check the nice piece of extruded aluminium welded to the right side, the brake caliper guide. Can't weld alloy to steel.

 

Neil, I have their right leg...which leg are you pulling?...uh, don't pull the middle one.

 

Middle one, I'll do that myself.

 

What is a weldor? lol

 

duh, i didn't even think of trying a magnet. my weldOR (ok ER) is gas capable, just haven't splurged for the tank yet...


just ran out and validated: aluminium
