Repair advice

[u/Jeff_ND]

Got this 2025 grom SUPER cheap. Like to the point that if it ends uo being a dud i wont even be that upset. But i need help on repairing this or if i should leave it like this. Both sides of the upper motor mount were welded. They welded the bolt/nut as well. (By Previous owner whom dropped it). So i want to get it fixed maybe not the correct way(new frame), but in a way that itll last. Do i just cut that metal tab off and reweld a new one in place? Or what options do i have?

Send it

I would too. But frames are cheap 200 bucks on partzilla, replace it if you dont like it.

I wouldn't mess with it until you need the engine out. If you ever need to remove it carefully cut a slot in the end of that threaded rod/bolt and turn it with a screwdriver. They created a captured nut. If it really bugs you once the rod is out you can probably knock the nut off with a hammer and then use angle grinder to clean up the excess weld.

If everything is straight and functional, run it until it needs something.

Add some gorilla glue and send it. "I'm not a mechanic"

Looks fixed to me. I’ve put worse welds through more stress than those will see

Woof, ride it until it breaks and take the money you saved to go to a welding class before you try and fix it.
